A toddler has died after wandering off a daycare centre in Mission, B.C. Wednesday afternoon.
Multiple homes along Hawthorne Avenue are behind tape as police continue to investigate.
The toddler, who was almost two years old, is said to have wandered off the daycare property around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Police say the daycare called for help around 10 minutes later. The centre was run out of a home.
Police were able to eventually locate the toddler in a neighbouring yard where there is a pool. She was found unresponsive under the pool cover.
Attempts were made to revive her but she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In an email to Global News, the BC Coroners Service confirms they are investigating the case.
“Coroners Service investigations look to determine who, when, where, how and by what means someone dies suddenly or unexpectedly in B.C.,” said Andy Watson. “It would be premature to comment on any other aspects of our investigation at this time.”
Police say the investigation is ongoing. No one has been charged or arrested.
More to come…
