Dundalk boy, 7, found dead

A 7-year-old boy was found dead Monday morning in the water near a pier close to his home in Dundalk, about 12 hours after he was out riding his silver scooter around his neighborhood, police said.

Edward D. Blue, of the 2000 block of Paulette Road, was found at about 7:30 a.m. near his apartment complex, police said. Police divers and at least one helicopter combed the area Sunday night after the boy was reported missing and had resumed at dawn Monday.
