Cops Investigate Evidence After Adopted Texas Boy, 7, Is Found Dead In Family's Washing Machine

Police are investigating the death of a 7-year-old boy after his body was found inside a top-loading washing machine in the garage of his family's Texas home, RadarOnline.com has learned.

Troy Khoeler's adoptive parents called 911 to report him missing on Thursday at about 5:20 AM. After searching through the neighborhood and residence, authorities discovered his body two hours later.

RadarOnline.com can confirm they searched the home upon determining there were no signs of doors or windows having been left open.

The mother was seen crying after Khoeler was located and confirmed deceased. She was wearing a work uniform when cops responded to the emergency call.

Harris County Sheriff's Office Lieutenant Robert Minchew said during a press briefing that it was unclear at this time if foul play was involved.

Khoeler was found fully clothed inside the washing machine. Minchew did not clarify if there was water in the machine.

"We don't know what happened, but we intend to find out. Whether he was killed by the washing machine or killed and placed in it, we're just so far from that, I can't comment," shared Minchew while responding to questions about what happened.

Minchew said no one has been placed under arrest as authorities await a report from the medical examiner's office which will provide more answers.

Meanwhile, the Spring Independent School District has since released a statement mourning Khoeler's sudden death.
