— -- The body of a missing 4-year-old girl has been found by authorities in Florida.

Chelsea Noel, who had autism, was last seen just before 10 p.m. Saturday night in Port St. Lucie, Florida, police said.

A local resident donated the use of his drone to help in searching areas for the child, police said. The drone detected a discolored figure in a body of water near her home.

A search team in a kayak checked that pond late Sunday and found a body submerged. The body was confirmed to be Chelsea Noel.
