A 5-year-old autistic boy who wandered away from a family party with no shoes and no coat was found dead two days later in a nearby canal, authorities announced. Jayliel Vega had slipped away from a New Year's Eve celebration at a relative's Allentown, Pennsylvania, home. The boy had nothing on his feet and temperatures hovered in the 30s. Defeated-looking authorities announced on Saturday that searchers had found the boy's body in a canal near his home. An investigation of the death is ongoing. #InsideEdition
