Authorities say a child has died from their injuries after an incident reportedly involving a fold-out bed in a hotel near Quebec City Friday evening.
Emergency services responded to a 911 call at around 5:15 p.m. for an injured child at a hotel in St-Gabriel-de-Valcartier, according to provincial police.
Sûreté du Québec (SQ) officers say the five-year-old was taken to hospital and later died.
The SQ’s major crimes unit will investigate the incident due to the victim’s young age, along with a forensic team to analyze the scene.
Investigators are considering all possibilities, but police say so far the case appears to be accidental and not criminal.
