A family is still searching for answers after Noah Bush, an 8-year-old boy, left his house in Jessup, Georgia, to play with friends and never come back.
Hours later, the boy’s body was discovered in a borrow pit. Police suspected his death was due to drowning with no foul play. But, his mom, Demetrice, is speaking out, and explaining that her son was terrified of water. She says he would have never gone near it.
Is this a case of foul play or a legit accident that led to a tragic death? Now, The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is investigating the incident on ‘TSR Investigates.’
As per to Carter, Noah Bush left his house on Wednesday, May 15, around 5 p.m. to join a few older white children in the neighborhood.
But, as the hours dwindled into the night, Bush never returned. The next day, Carter says, Demetrice’s “worst fear came true.”
“When they told me where he was actually found, it didn’t make sense to me because my son has always had a fear of water,” Demetrice told Carter.
Demetrice told Carter her son would stay far away from water slides and rides. The mom ultimately asked how her son’s body was discovered in a borrow pit in a construction area.
As per to Noah’s grandmother, Valerie Jernigan, cops immediately ruled the chance of foul play out of the 8-year-old’s death.
“I immediately questioned, ‘Did they suspect any foul play?’ And the detective said no. I mean, right then, the detective said ‘no,’” Jernigan told Carter.
Furthermore, the grandmother alleged that Demetrice was prevented from seeing her son.
Here’s Why The Mom Is Searching For “Facts”
As per to Carter, police informed the public that Noah allegedly “took his shoes off” and willingly waded into the water. But, Demetrice isn’t settled with this conclusion.
