Tragedy: Jennifer Hudson's Nephew's Body Found

Not even 30 minutes ago, I wrote about Jennifer Hudson offering a $100,000 reward for anyone who could return her 7 year old nephew, Julian King, who has been missing since her brother and mother were murdered. Turns out, according to TMZ, the body has allegedly been found:

Chicago cops have found the body of a child and are investigating whether it's the body of Jennifer Hudson's nephew, Julian King. The medical examiner has not yet made an ID, but we are now told the body is that of a 7-year-old African American boy, the same age and race as Julian.

The body was found inside a 1994 white Chevy Suburban. It is the same SUV owned by Jason Hudson, the murdered brother of Jennifer. Before his arrest, cops were looking for William Balfour, the suspect and estranged husband of Jennifer's sister. The license plate of the Suburban matches Jason's SUV.

The SUV was found a few miles from the area where cops arrested Balfour.

Obviously, if this is true, it's horrific news. It seems highly unlikely that it would coincidentally be another boy of the same age and race. Sad day in the celebrity world.
