Funeral to be held today for four-year-old boy killed in Quebec bus crash last week

LAVAL, Que. — A funeral will be held today for one of the two young children killed when a bus crashed into a daycare last week in Laval, Que., just north of Montreal.

The ceremony for Jacob Gauthier is scheduled for 11 a.m. at the Ste-Rose-de-Lima church, about two kilometres from the site of the tragedy.

A funeral notice published last week said Jacob was four and a half and is survived by his mother, father, sister, as well as grandparents and other extended family.

The alleged bus attack at the Garderie Éducative Ste-Rose left two children dead and sent six to hospital with injuries.
