The body of a 6-year-old Georgia boy who went missing while vacationing with his family in Florida was found on a beach. It comes a day after a wide-scale search on land, sea and air was launched in an effort to find him.

Enrique Cortez-Dubon was found in the area of Surf Drive in Panama City Beach, more than 1.5 miles east from where he was last seen Monday.

The child, who went by the nickname Richalo, was discovered on the sand.

The Panama City Beach Police Department did not release a cause of death, but it was suggested Cortez-Dubon went into the water.

Dozens of first responders were dispatched in an effort to locate him.

Before the body was found, police said they were investigating both the possibility that he may have drowned or was abducted. He was last seen in knee-high water, and the family said he did not swim well.
