MORLEY, AB — RCMP are currently investigating after one child died in a home on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation west of Calgary.

EMS were called at approximately 11:45 a.m. in response to reports of a child in medical distress at a residence.

One child was pronounced dead at the scene. EMS says 10 other children and four adults at the residence were transported to area hospitals for additional assessment and treatment. An update later this afternoon said the patients were experiencing “influenza like symptoms.”

Cochrane RCMP and the RCMP Major Crimes Unit are investigating and will provide an update once more information is known.
