Boy dead: Aunt ‘push boy,3 into Lake Michigan and watched as he sank

On Sunday, shortly after 10 a.m. local time, Josiah Brown was declared deceased. He had been taken from the lake last Monday while in a severe state, and it had not been anticipated that he would make it.

A three-year-old boy has died after his aunt allegedly pushed him into Lake Michigan in Chicago, US officials say.

Josiah Brown was pronounced dead shortly after 10 am local time (4 pm UK time) on Sunday.

He had been in a critical condition after being pulled from the lake last Monday and had not been expected to survive.

Josiah was allegedly shoved by his aunt Victoria Moreno at Navy Pier, a fall of more than 6ft, and she then stood by as he sank below the water, according to authorities.

Divers found the boy at the bottom of the lake about half an hour later.
