Toddler dies after going missing from B.C. daycare, found in swimming pool
MISSION, B.C. — A 23-month-old child has died in Mission, B.C., after she was reported missing from a daycare and found unresponsive in a swimming pool at a neighbouring property.
The RCMP say they were called by the owner of the daycare at about 4:40 p.m. on Wednesday.
“The loss of a loved one is always an extremely difficult time, but it touches everyone much harder when it is a child, and our thoughts go out to the family, and all of those involved,” Staff Sgt. Steve Crawford said in a news release Thursday.
The caller estimated it has been about 10 minutes since the girl was last seen, RCMP said.
