Canadian police have recovered two more bodies, including the body of a missing infant, near the US-Canada border, bringing the death toll to eight from two families trying to enter the US from Canada by boat across the St. Lawrence River.
What did the police say?
Among the victims was one child under the age of three, while the other five were adults. O’Brien said the two children, the deceased and the missing, “belonged to the Roman family” and had two Canadian passports that police found.
Police will await the results of the autopsy and toxicology tests to determine the cause of death.
Last year, an Indian family of four froze to death in the Canadian province of Manitoba while trying to cross into the US.
