Police recover body of Quebec infant missing in river since car crash Friday

Oct 31, 2022 | 10:55 AM

MONTREAL — Police in the Montreal suburb of Laval say they found the body today of a one-month-old infant missing in a river since Friday evening.

The baby boy had disappeared when a vehicle with his mother and four-year-old sister plunged into the Mille Îles River in a northwestern sector of Laval just before 5 p.m.

Police have said the 40-year-old mother was hospitalized and unable to speak to investigators, so they don’t know the circumstances surrounding the crash.

The four-year-old girl was rescued and released from hospital Friday evening.

Laval police confirmed the discovery of the body after beginning a third day of searching.
