Former NBA star Marcus Camby's nine-year-old nephew Marcus McGhee was found dead on the family's property in suburban Houston Saturday, two days after the autistic child vanished from a Thanksgiving Day celebration.
Police found Marcus McGhee in a L-shaped lake behind Camby's Pearland home, a spokesman for the Pearland Police Department told reporters. There no indications of foul play.
McGhee, whose family was visiting from Connecticut., was last seen around 4 p.m. CT Thursday at Camby's residence.
"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 department posted on its Facebook page Saturday morning. "The family is now in need of our prayers. Additional details will be released later."
