An “Amber Alert” had previously been broadcast nationwide throughout Greece for the missing boy in the early morning hours of Friday.
The child was last seen at roughly 1 a.m. at the Skaramangas camp site, while his body was discovered in the water on Friday evening.
An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.
