A child pulled from a Mississauga ravine on Saturday has been pronounced dead.
Emergency crews were called to Erindale Park, near Mississauga Road and Dundas Street, around 3:30 p.m. for reports that a young child had wandered off.
Paramedics later confirmed to CityNews that the child was located in the water.
According to authorities, the child sustained life-threatening injuries and emergency care was provided at the scene. They were later transported to a local hospital in critical condition.
“Unfortunately, the child has been pronounced deceased,” Peel police said in an update on Sunday afternoon. “Due to the sensitive nature of this investigation, there is no further information to provide.”
Erindale Park sprawls across 220 acres and hugs a section of the Credit River. It has multiple hiking trails and is the largest park in Mississauga.
Last July, a three-year-old boy was also found dead in the Credit River at the park after wandering off from a nearby playground.
