Police and local volunteers in the suburban Houston area have continued their search from the past two days on Friday for nine-year-old Marcus McGhee, nephew of former NBA player Marcus Camby. Unfortunately he was found dead on Saturday in a lake on Camby's property in a Houston suburb.

McGhee was a non-verbal autistic child who went missing from Camby's residence on Pearland, Texas, on Thursday, visiting from Connecticut.

A search party of approximately 50 volunteers gathered Friday before McGhee was found Saturday.

The Pearland Police Department posted on its Facebook page Saturday morning:

“The Pearland Police Department regrets to inform the community that Marcus McGhee has been found. Today's search will be called off. We thank all of you for your efforts. The family is now in need of our prayers. Additional details will be released later.”

Thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Marcus McGhee.
