Police find baby's body in river after father attempts suicide

Connecticut police said yesterday that they had
found the body of the 7-month-old boy they
believe may have been tossed into a river by his
father, who had tried to kill himself at the same
time.
Middletown police responded to a report of a
body found in the river near East Haddam,
Connecticut, around 8 p.m., the department said
in a statement. Detectives and Connecticut State
Police confirmed the body was that of Aaden
Moreno, who had been missing since early
Monday.
Police believe the baby's father, Tony Moreno,
22, was holding the child, or had flung him into
the water, as he attempted suicide early Monday
by jumping off the Arrigoni Bridge in Middletown.
Moreno was in critical condition on Tuesday,
officials said.
