MASCOUTAH, Ill.—Funeral arrangements are set for a 5-year-old southwestern Illinois boy who authorities say drowned in a Colorado pond while he was with his family.
Authorities say Colt Meurer of Mascoutah (muh-SKOO’-tuh) went missing last Thursday morning after being last seen with two older brothers on a dock of a pond in northwestern Colorado, near the border of Eagle and Routt counties.
A diver found him later, and the boy was flown by the Colorado National Guard to a Vail hospital where he died.
Funeral home visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday at Moll Funeral home in Mascoutah.
A private burial will be Friday.
