“Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes. This is the toughest thing I’ve ever had to deal with. No one should have to bury a 3 yr old [sic] baby,” wrote the Legendary star.
“I keep reading this over and over, hoping to not recognize his name … my God!” Law said after seeing the story in the Chicago Tribune article.
The Cook County medical examiner’s office identified the toddler on November 24 and conducted an autopsy the following day.
“I love you all, especially my Tribe,” Roach shared with his followers on Instagram.
An investigation into the child’s death is currently occurring, but there are no suspects in custody.

The celebrity stylist has described himself as the “image architect” and has created unique custom looks for celebrities like Zendaya, Mary J. Blige, Celine Dion, Kerry Washington, Anya Taylor-Joy, City Girls, Lewis Hamilton, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and more, according to Vogue.
