We have learned that the toddler under the age of three who died after serious injuries at his daycare center in L’Assomption on Tuesday may have been the victim of a crime The newspaper.
At least the investigation currently seems to be going in that direction. This is done through the Crimes Against Persons Unit of the Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
Yesterday an emergency call was made about a small child in poor condition. When emergency services arrived, he suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital. He died of his injuries a few hours later, police confirmed.
The operators of the home daycare center were met by investigators, but no arrests have been made so far. Since the owner of the dormitory in which the daycare center is located already has two children, a maximum of four additional children could be accommodated there.
According to the Family Ministry website, the daycare center is not recognized and is not subsidized.
No other children were injured, the SQ confirmed.
An autopsy and forensic examination will be conducted to shed light on this tragedy.
