Officers recovered the body of a missing 17-year-old boy in a wooded area near his home yesterday afternoon, police said.
Anthony Treon Assante Williams of the 400 block of Bigley Avenue in Lansdowne was reported missing by his mother on Nov. 11, police said.
Police said that she reported he’d been recently depressed and left home two days earlier without saying where he was going. She told police it wasn’t uncommon for him to leave for a day, but that he always came home.
Officers were called to a wooded area in the back of the 300 block of Bigley Avenue just after 2 p.m. yesterday after someone had discovered the body, police said.
Police said the cause of death is pending autopsy by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner but that initial investigation doesn’t indicate foul play.
