Authorities say a 2-year-old East Texas boy who disappeared while playing hide-and-seek has been found dead in some nearby woods.
The Smith County Sheriff's Office said the body of Jake Kimbley was located Wednesday morning near Winona.
Investigators said Jake was playing with another youngster Tuesday afternoon when he turned up missing. Searchers on foot and using horses spent the night looking for the child, whose body was found about 12 hours after he disappeared.
Sheriff's officials did not immediately provide additional details Wednesday.
