Missing 3-year-old girl found dead at Hamilton conservation area

The search for a missing 3-year-old girl has ended in tragedy.

Hamilton police say Zahra Ousmane and her family were visiting Binbrook Conservation Area with a large group when they realized at a certain point that she was missing.

Police say the family searched the area before contacting police shortly after 6 p.m.

The three-year-old was found in the water by kayakers around 7:50 p.m. and transported to hospital, where she was pronounced dead a short time later.

Just before 10 p.m., police confirmed the missing toddler had been located.

“She was transported to hospital and pronounced deceased,” police tweeted. “Our hearts go out to her family on their tragic loss.”

Hamilton police say they do consider the girl’s death as suspicious.

Police have asked that anyone who saw the young girl between 5 and 7 p.m. or took video in the area to contact them.
