Death of 14-year-old Florida boy ruled a homicide

The boy's death was not "an accident," police said.

The death of a 14-year-old Florida boy whose body was found last week has been ruled a homicide by local police.

Ryan Rogers of Palm Beach Gardens was found dead Nov. 16 around 9 a.m. local time near an Interstate 95 overpass by a passerby who spotted the boy's bike lying in the grass.

"We now know that Ryan Rogers' death was not an accident, but a deliberate act," the Palm Beach Gardens Police Department said in a statement Wednesday.

ABC West Palm Beach affiliate WPBF reported that an autopsy on Saturday revealed Rogers' death was not from a bicycle accident.
