A 14-year-old who went missing was found dead in Newark Tuesday, according to police.
Kearny police say that Angel Gonzalez was found unresponsive in Newark. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead.
Police say that the cause and manner of the boy’s death are pending an autopsy by the medical examiner.
Gonzalez’s family reported him missing on Oct. 9, according to officials. Police said at the time that it was possible he was heading to Newark or New York City.
