According to the Winnipeg Police Service (WPS), one-year-old Hanna Boulette died in March 2023.
Police began to investigate on March 23, 2023, when a man called 911 after Hanna became unresponsive. The Winnipeg Fire Paramedic Service went to the scene and gave CPR to the child, who was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Officers arrested the parents for criminal negligence causing death. The father also faced a charge of possession of a controlled substance because police found fentanyl on him during his arrest.
During the investigation, police determined that the parents were not forthcoming with details of the incident.
According to Const. Claude Chancy with the WPS, the amount of time that passed from when the parents became aware of the child’s fentanyl exposure to the time that 911 was called may have played a role in the child’s death.
