A 3-year-old boy has died after falling into a grease trap at a Tim Hortons Restaurant in New York. Police were called after the boy was reported missing.  “He was not a missing person in the traditional sense but he was with his mother and gone from his mother’s care for a brief period of time— less than minutes— then the 911 call was immediately made, ” Investigator Frank Camp said, reported Spectrum News.

“It’s a horrible, tragic, accident, misadventure— whatever you call it— just a horrifying situation,” Camp said.
