Arrest made, manslaughter charge pending in 2022 death of Calgary toddler
Calgary police have arrested a man and a charge is pending in connection with the death of a toddler in 2022.
The individual, who has not been identified yet by police, will be charged with manslaughter, police said on Wednesday.
His name will be released once the charge is officially laid.
His arrest and pending charge are in connection with the death of two-year-old Olivia Hayden in the early morning hours of Sept. 29, 2022.
