Investigators say boaters by Brown's Island saw the body and called police.

They say the clothing of the child does not match the description of what 2-year-old Hawk Newberry was last seen wearing. Hawk is the missing boy who fell into the Mississippi River near the boat dock at Schwiebert Riverfront Park in Rock Island on July 24th.

The body is being sent to the University of Iowa where an autopsy will be done.
