A Georgia child who was reported missing last Sunday has been found deceased.

According to WJFB, on June 22, Kameron Williams, a 4-year-old, disappeared while playing outside an apartment complex in Metter. The Candler County Sheriff’s Office and Metter Police arrived at the Summer Trace Apartments on West Turner Street to look into the situation.

During the search for Kameron, a family member found him in a car. He was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene.

A nearby surveillance camera recorded footage of a child, believed to be Kameron, entering a vehicle during playtime. Investigators noted that the child was not seen exiting the car.

The Metter Police Department has sought the assistance of the GBI for their investigation into the child’s death. Kameron’s body has been sent to the GBI Coastal Crime Lab Medical Examiner’s Office in Pooler for an autopsy.

According to KBTX, the director of the Kids and Car Safety organization, Amber Rollins, says 55% of hot car deaths are the result of the child entering the car alone.

“Children who get into cars on their own are typically about 18 months to 4- or 5-years-old. About 68% of those children who get in on their own and can’t get back out are little boys. So, this situation meets the typical profile for that type of situation.”

Jan Null, CCM, Adjunct Professor of Meteorology at San Jose State University, told CrimeOnline in an emailed statement that “this is the first Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke (PVH) death in Georgia this year and the 43rd in the state since 1998.”

The story is developing. Check back for updates.
