Reports indicate funeral services for 3-year-old Brendan Creato will be held Thursday in Collingswood.
HADDON TWP. -- Funeral plans for 3-year-old Brendan Creato, who was found dead in a wooded area near the Cooper River last Tuesday, have been announced.
According to New Jersey News 12, the funeral will be held on Thursday in Collingswood. Philly.com reports that the services will be conducted at the Blake-Doyle Funeral Home.
There have been no updates on the investigation since a noon press conference last Tuesday. The boy's father, DJ Creato, told a 9-1-1 dispatcher that his son was missing when he woke up. Brendan's body was found about a half-mile away just off South Park Drive.
On Saturday, about two dozen people gathered near the scene for a yoga and prayer session and somber walk to an ever-growing memorial in memory of Brendan.
MORE: Why was autopsy inconclusive?
An autopsy conducted Tuesday on the boy's body was inconclusive as to the cause of manner of death, according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office. The results of toxicology tests performed afterward could take weeks to be determined.
A fundraiser on behalf of Samantha Denoto, the boy's mother, has raised $17,637 as of Monday. A separate online effort for DJ Creato has raised $470. The parents did not live together. Requests for comment left with groups heading each fundraising effort were not returned.
Vic Filosa, who owns the Haddon Township building where Creato lived, told NJ Advance Media last week that he'd never had any issues with his tenant who'd been living there for roughly six months.
Filosa said Creato has started renting out his room in the seven-unit corner property during the spring, as renovations had been under way before then. Asked if he had been contacted by investigators, Filosa said he hadn't but was told earlier on that he was going to be.
"Nobody ever called," he said.
No charges have been filed in the case. Readers with information are asked to contact Camden County Prosecutor's Office Detective Michael Rhoads at (856) 225-8561 or Haddon Township Police Detective Don Quinn at (856) 833-6208.
