- The police say that an examination of the body has revealed no evidence of outside influence.
Now it is a sad certainty: the dead boy, who was found by a farmer a few days ago, is Arian. A DNA comparison has shown that it is the missing six-year-old.
Arian, who is autistic, disappeared from his home in Elm in Lower Saxony on April 22. Hundreds of emergency services and many volunteers searched for Arian for days. A total of 1200 people took part in the search.
The six-year-old had learned how to open doors shortly before he disappeared, his family explained at the time. Images from surveillance cameras show him walking towards the forest. No one saw him alive after that.
No outside influence
However, another fear has been allayed: the autopsy revealed that the boy was not the victim of a violent crime. According to the police, there were no indications of outside influence. However, they have not given any details about the cause of death.
Two months have passed since Arian's disappearance when a farmer finds the body of a boy at the edge of a meadow. The suspicion quickly arises that it is Arian.
The emergency services searched the area where he was lying several times. It is unclear why they did not discover him - or whether he was already lying there.
