The RCMP is investigating every possibility, including foul play, to explain the sudden death of an infant in the Annapolis Valley.
Emergency crews responded to a 911 call from a Kentville home on Saturday, May 8, around 5 p.m. The boy was transported to Valley Regional Hospital, but was already dead.
“We’re continuing to follow exactly what happened, what preceded his death, the causes of death, things along those lines. So at this time we’re continuing our investigation into an unexplained death,” Sgt. Brigit Leger tells News 95.7.
Forensic investigators are gathering evidence and interviewing anyone who had contact with the boy, who was one month shy of his third birthday.
An autopsy was completed on May 9, however details are not being released.
The boy’s mother and her surviving son are apparently staying in a neighbouring apartment while police conduct its investigation, according to CTV News. A makeshift memorial has been set up on the home’s doorstep.
