The accident, because according to investigators from the Service de Police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) it would be an accident, happened around 6 p.m. in an apartment on rue Chambord, near rue Saint-Zotique, in Montreal. It is a residential street lined mostly with duplex style buildings.
The 9-1-1 call was made to a 7-year-old boy who was found unconscious in his bathwater. “Did he feel unwell? did he fall asleep asks agent Jean-Pierre Brabant, PR officer of the SPVM. Further medical analysis will be necessary to understand the circumstances surrounding the tragedy.
On site, first responders performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) maneuvers on the child from home to hospital. The boy was in critical condition.
His parents were also hospitalized for nerve shock. When these lines were written, the child was still in the hospital. “The next few hours will be crucial,” said Mr Brabant.
SPVM investigators were dispatched to the scene to assess whether the event was suspicious. “To date, there is no criminal element on our side,” says Mr. Brabant. It seems purely coincidental. »
The SPVM acted in favor of Urgences-santé in this matter.
