Quebec police investigating after young child found dead in parked car
ST-JEROME, Que. — The baby found dead in a parked car near a daycare centre north of Montreal was forgotten in the vehicle by the father, the CBC’s French service reported Thursday.
Quoting unnamed sources, Radio-Canada said the man dropped off two of his children at a day camp Wednesday and didn’t realize his youngest child, who is less than a year old, was still in the car when he went to work.
Provincial police would not confirm the report.
Police spokeswoman Audrey-Anne Bilodeau said the child was found late Wednesday afternoon in a car parked near the daycare centre in Saint-Jerome, 60 kilometres north of Montreal.
