[Warning: Potentially Triggering Content] A missing Texas boy was tragically found dead in a washing machine. In a press release captured by KHOU, Lieutenant Robert Minchew of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office Homicide Unit explained that Troy Koehler’s parents reported him missing at roughly 5:20 a.m.

Thursday. The lieutenant noted that when authorities arrived at the residence, they conducted “a brief interview for the missing person report” with the parents before searching the neighborhood, which was unsuccessful: It hasn’t been addressed why the report was filed so early in the morning, or whether his parents woke up to him missing or not.

Regardless, we can’t imagine how scary it must have been to find Troy gone. Related: Courageous 12-Year-Old Girls Saves Family From House Fire Lieutenant Robert added: We couldn’t imagine being the one to find the poor boy.
