4-year-old who died described by mother as ‘angel who never hurt anybody’
The mother of the four-year-old girl who died in Long Plain First Nation Sunday spoke with Global News from the hospital, where two of her daughters remain.
A four-year-old girl who passed away in Manitoba has been remembered by her mother as an "angel who never hurt anybody, not even her own little sisters." The girl was found in medical distress when the Manitoba First Nation Police Service arrived at a home in Long Plain First Nation on Sunday morning. Despite the efforts of emergency services and police, the young girl sadly did not survive.
The girls were not residing at their mother's home at the time; instead, they were being cared for by Manitoba Child and Family Services. The mother, speaking from the hospital where she was also with her two younger daughters, expressed her deep sorrow, stating that her older daughter would have been excited to start school this month.
Her younger daughters, aged one and two, are currently in stable condition, though one remains in serious condition. Manitoba RCMP have stated that no further updates will be shared with the media. Manitoba's Minister of Families, Nahanni Fontaine, expressed her condolences, acknowledging that "there are simply no words that can adequately capture the heartbreak of losing a child."
The province's investigation is being carried out jointly by the police and the Manitoba Advocate for Children and Youth.
