According to nbcnews.com, police in suburban Cleveland have identified most of the culprits behind the disgusting ice-bucket challenge "prank" that left an autistic 14-year-old covered in urine, feces, spit and cigarette butts.

"Police were able to identify a majority of the suspects in the video that actually perpetrated this really heinous act," said attorney Dean Valore. "There are still some additional unidentified people, (but) investigators are hoping by the end of the week to turn the case over to the local prosecutor's office."

The police are still trying to figure out who actually filled the container with the contaminants, but the majority of the kids who actually dumped the bucket have been identified.

Valore said that the boy and his family have been "overwhelmed" — "but it's a good kind of overwhelming" — by the outpouring of support from celebrities and regular folks alike. Over the weekend, comedian Drew Carey offered $10,000 to help find the responsible culprits behind the prank.

"We’ve been inundated with an outpouring, nationally and internationally, of support, both financially and moral support — from celebrities, from moms in their kitchens with autistic kids calling me."
