“The grief of everyone, the family, their friends, the neighbourhood and the province I think are heartbroken by this,” B.C. Minister of Health Adrian Dix said.

But he said it may be a while before they get some answers.

“I think everyone understands that we have to give those doing the investigations the time that is required to get all of the answers,” Dix said.

A GoFundMe account has raised more than $52,000 for Selena’s parents.

The daycare where the toddler was at, Melissa’s Bright Beginnings, has had its licence suspended while the investigation continues.
