    Sam Trott left his home yesterday sparking a huge community search.

    WA Police have called off the two day community search for two-and-a-half year old boy Sam Trott after divers found a child's body in a Perth lake.

    ABC News reports that hundreds of people joined police in looking for the toddler after he walked out of an unlocked front door of his home at Walbrook Mews yesterday.

    Volunteers were told to sing Sam's favourite song "Wheels on the bus" because the family feared he would not respond to his name.
