Update: Child Thrown Into Lake by Aunt Has Died

The 3-year old, Josiah Brown, who was thrown into Lake Michigan by his mentally unstable aunt last week has succumbed to his injuries and sadly passed away.

Little Josiah Brown, who tumbled more than 6 feet from Windy City landmark Navy Pier last Monday, was pronounced dead just after 10 a.m. Sunday, the Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed.

“Rest easy my bubba,” his dad, Dantrell Brown, wrote alongside a montage of images on social media for his “Jedi JoJo.”

Brown said he only got to spend a measly 3 hours with his son in the hospital.

“I am currently in another hospital awaiting a heart transplant after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure at 22. I was told this just a few days before my son was born. This hits hard and hurts,” Brown said about his son.

“If I don’t make it out we can finally have that swim together that I promised you,” he wrote in a heart-wrenching tribute to his late son.

The boy was not expected to survive after going into cardiac arrest in the lake during the 30 minutes it took divers to find him and pull him out of the water.

His aunt, Victoria Moreno, 34, has already been charged with felony attempted first-degree murder after she was allegedly caught on surveillance footage pushing the child into the water after waiting for witnesses to clear.

Moreno stood by and watched as witnesses and then police divers desperately tried to save her nephew.

The aunt is being held without bond for what Judge Susanna Ortiz damned as an “intentionally brutal and heinous … act indicative of wanton cruelty.” It was not immediately clear if her charges had been updated after her nephew’s death.

JoJo had spent the night with his grandmother in the same suburban Des Plaines where his aunt and accused killer also lives.

Moreno suffers from “severe mental health” issues, including anxiety, depression and insomnia, her public defender, Patrick Shine, said during her first court hearing.

She had also taken the boy and two of her nieces to the pier a week earlier, but the eldest child, age 11, called family members to pick them up.

On Monday, she took little JoJo while his grandmother was getting changed and then swiped the family’s truck, despite being banned from driving because of her medications.

A mom of three who called 911 after seeing the youngster in the water looking straight up at the sky and just terrified, immediately notified cops that Morena was not acting right.

“To not have been physically able to jump down and pull him out of the water is the hardest thing that I think I will ever have to live with,” Ashton King, 3, said.

Shine had asked for her to be released on bail to get professional help, a request shut down by the judge, who called Moreno a danger to the community and to her specific family members and children in general.”
