 DENVER (AP) - Searchers found the body of a 2-year-old Wednesday in the South Platte River, several miles downstream from where he was swept away from his mother during a flash flood.
Jose Matthew Jauregui Jr.'s mother, identified by relatives as Elsha Guel, collapsed in tears as the boy's body was carried to a waiting vehicle.
A construction worker spotted the body seven to 10 miles downstream from where the boy disappeared Monday night, authorities said. Floodwaters engulfed Jose and his mother as they were walking on a bike path beside the river.
