A 10-month-old child is deceased in an apparent accidental choking incident near St. Pierre, Manitoba.

The child was rushed to the DeSalaberry Health Unit by family members late in the evening of November 21, 2009, after attempting to dislodge an item from the child’s throat.  The child was subsequently transferred to Bethesda Hospital in Steinbach where the death was pronounced.

Foul play is not suspected as RCMP continue to investigate.
