#Uncategorized #NoahBush Children, Ages 10 and 11, Arrested After 8-Year-Old Georgia Boy Found Dead in Borrow Pit: Lawyers have now ruled the death of an 8-year-old Georgia boy, who drowned in a “borrow pit,” as a homicide.
According to WSBTV, Noah Bush disappeared from his Jessup home on May 15 at around 9 p.m. His body was found the next day in a construction “borrow pit,” a deep hole excavated to supply fill material for building projects.
Authorities initially deemed Noah’s death an accidental drowning, suggesting he had removed his shoes and wandered past a “no trespassing” sign.
Bush’s family raised doubts about the accidental nature of his death, noting his fear of deep water. They obtained lawyers and a private investigator to delve deeper into the incident. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation also launched an inquiry, interviewing the children who were with Bush that night.
On Wednesday, the family’s attorneys announced that the autopsy confirmed drowning as the cause of death, which has been classified as a homicide.
Lawyers stated that at least two children had been arrested in connection with the case but did not disclose their identities or provide details on what they believed happened to Bush.
WTOC reports that the children arrested were ages 10 and 11. The 11-year-old is facing charges of simple battery, trespassing, involuntary manslaughter, and concealing the death of another.
The 10-year-old is facing charges of trespassing and concealing the death of another.
“This district attorneys’ office has committed, that today’s arrest of these juveniles involved is not the end, and it is quite possible that before the conclusion of this day there may be other arrests in this case,” family attorney, Francys Johnson said.
“This was not an accidental drowning. This was a homicide.”
