Mother charged after infant found dead in midtown Toronto
CBC
A 30-year-old woman has been charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life after her four-month-old baby was reported missing and later found dead in midtown Toronto Wednesday.
In a news release issued Thursday, police said the boy's father first reported the child missing around 11:25 a.m.
Officers arrived at the scene — an apartment building in the Roselawn Avenue and Marlee Avenue area — and were able to find the baby.
Lifesaving measures were then performed, police say, before he was rushed to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. No other information about his condition was provided.
On Wednesday, the investigation appeared to be centred on the eighth floor of the building.
Officers were also guarding the building's garbage chute, which was taped off, while police investigated the garbage room.
The boy's mother, a 30-year-old Toronto woman, was subsequently arrested and charged.
She was expected to appear in court Thursday.
