Coroner investigating death of 11-month-old Cree boy diagnosed with croup less than a week earlier
The family of an 11-month-old Cree baby from Attawapiskat who died in a Fort Albany hospital in northeastern Ontario this month says he would still be alive if he had received the health care he needed and deserved.
Jake Koostachin died about five hours after his mother rushed him to the remote hospital on April 9.
Ontario’s Office of the Chief Coroner is investigating, it said in an email to CBC News.
