Infant death

“I heard a bunch of bumping around,” recalls P.A. man in building where infant was found unconscious

A man who lives in the downtown Prince Albert apartment building, where a young child was found unconscious on Wednesday, claims the child’s death could have been prevented.

Dallas Inglehart’s apartment at Rivercrest Apartments happens to be directly underneath the one where the two-year-old child was initially found.

“I woke up the other morning to a whole bunch of bumping around, like somebody was getting beaten upstairs,” he said.

The young child later died in hospital and police have said they are treating the case as a homicide. Inglehart told paNOW the couple who lived above him had a history of loud arguments. When he had called police Wednesday for the second time in two weeks about it, there was nothing to suggest anything was out of the ordinary.

“I went to work like it was a regular day and come back to find out there was a murder in the place,” he said.

The building’s landlord told paNOW the man who signed the lease for the apartment had been living there only two weeks, and he had not received any prior complaints about him.

Police are investigating the case and no charges have been laid at this time.
