A young nonverbal autistic boy who had a “strong interest in water” was found dead in an upstate New York pool after vanishing from a graduation party on Sunday afternoon.

The body of Harbe Nagi, 7, was discovered in a backyard pool just two doors away from the house where he was last seen in Menands, just north of Albany, on Tuesday at around 8 a.m., the Times Union reported.

A source told WNYT that the pool had been checked multiple times, most recently on Monday at around 9:30 p.m.

Cops were initially called on Sunday at around 4:23 p.m. — just over 10 minutes after he was last seen.

The child – whose uncle is Hamtramck, Michigan, Mayor Adam Alharbi – was known to “wander and explore” and had a “strong interest in water,” Menands Police said while searching for him.

Helicopters, drones and K9s were deployed in the search for the youngster.

An ice cream truck was even used to try and lure the boy out, according to NYS Department of Environmental Conservation Forest Ranger Charles Kabrehl.

“We want to express our condolences and appreciation for everybody that came out and helped in the search efforts,” Lieutenant Kevin Schwebke said Tuesday, according to NEWS10. “Obviously, we are extremely saddened by the results.”

No cause of death has yet been confirmed, as Menands’s Mayor Brian Marsh urged the public not to speculate.

“We are going to continue to pursue the details of the case. Please, if people can refrain from speculation on social media — as I said [Monday], it’s not helpful to speculate. Let this case be pursued by the experts,” Marsh said, according to the outlet.

Mayor Alharbi confirmed the sad news of his nephew’s death in a statement shared on his official Facebook.

“We are devastated to share that he has been found deceased. Thank you to everyone who helped in the search,” he wrote.

Nagi’s family moved to Albany from New York City a few years ago.
