Description

The Ministry of Human Services has carefully reviewed the fatality inquiry report into the January 17, 2010 death of six-month-old PO, released on November 5, 2014. The inquiry found that the cause of death was positional asphyxia and the manner of death was accidental. The child was in provincial government care at the time of death. The Fatality Inquiry report included two recommendations for the ministry. The recommendations are focused on policy revisions and engagement in best practices for the use of bassinets and safe sleep practices for children in provincial care.
