Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said late Tuesday that a 4-year-old child has died at the hospital after being pulled from the Spokane River near the Downriver Golf Course. It happened just before 7:30 p.m. Witnesses say the boy's family was on the course and had stopped near the river when they turned their backs for a moment and the boy was gone. Multiple resources including water rescue crews, a Lifeflight helicopter and bystanders nearby joined the frantic search for the missing boy. It was unclear at first if he had ended up in the river or had just wandered off into the woods.
