The seven-year-old was missing since Hudson's mother and brother were shot dead at the family home on Friday.
Police launched a massive search for Julian King over the weekend, while the star's family put up a $100,000 (£65,000) reward for the child's safe return.
Police hunting for the youngster confirmed that they found the body of a boy in a car left on a Chicago street. Hudson reportedly identified her dead nephew at the Cook County Medical Examiner's office yesterday afternoon.
Julian was the son of the actress and singer's sister Julia Hudson. Her estranged husband William Balfour - the boy's stepfather - has been detained for an alleged parole violation "unrelated to this investigation".
No-one has yet been charged for the killings.
