2-year-old Noah Chamberlin found

100worldnews - Desperate search for missing two-year-old Noah Chamberlin ends in tragedy as boy's body is found a week after vanishing while on a hike with his grandmother
Chester County Sheriff Blair Weaver was overcome as he delivered the news in a press conference at a local church.
The toddler's body was found just 1.5 miles away from his grandmother's house in Chester County, Tennessee, on Thursday - a week after he vanished while on a hike.

He paused for several moments after announcing "We have found Noah Chamberlin." Struggling with his emotions and breaking into tears, the sheriff added, "He was located about one-and-a-half miles from the home where he went missing ... The family has been notified."

Madison County Sheriff John Mehr and Weaver called the child's death "a tragic accident." There was no indication of foul play, they said.

'Just like grandma said, she turned her head for a minute and he was gone. There were trails everywhere,' Weaver said.

'Everybody we talked to talked about how he ran all the time, jumped over tables, ran, just nonstop,' Mehr added. 'He loved to hide. We had people tell us that even adults would run after him, and they couldn't catch him.'

An autopsy will now be carried out to determine how he died.
Hundreds of volunteers had been scouring the rugged area. Noah's body was found after authorities expanded their search area.

He was found in a clearing, just a half-mile outside of the original grid combed by rescuers. Authorities had not believed the toddler could get that far on his own, despite his penchant for running off.

Investigators hit out at conspiracy theorists who speculated that the boy's parents, Jacob and Destiny Chamberlin, were behind the disappearance.

Parents Jacob and Destiny Chamberlin are left with their 4-year-old daughter. The father is a truck driver. Both kids were being watched by their grandmother while their mother went to the store.
