The body of a missing 7-year-old boy was discovered overnight at the bottom of what police describe as a murky pool in the yard of a homeowner in the city's East Oak Lane section.
Isear Jeffcoat, of the 1900 block of West Airdrie Street in Tioga, and earlier said to be 8-years-old, was dropped off in the morning at a day-care center at 1234 Rising Sun Ave. in North Philadelphia, police said.
Day-care workers took Isear and other children to a swimming pool in the 6600 block of North Eighth Street, where he was last seen around 3 p.m., police said.
