PASCO – A 16-year-old male was found dead near a construction site in Pasco on Saturday morning. A passerby reported the incident to the Pasco Police Department after seeing the teen, who was not dressed for cold conditions.
The teen, who attended Chiawana High School, had been last seen by his family on Friday afternoon and was reported missing Friday night. He was not far from his house when he was found.
