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.
