He’s also charged with failing to provide the necessities of life for the infant.
Cape Breton Regional Police – who didn’t disclose the man’s relationship to the child – said the charges follow an investigation into the infant’s Oct. 9 death.
Investigators originally responded to a Cottage Street residence in Sydney, where paramedics were on scene attending to an infant in distress.
The boy was transported to Glace Bay Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
