A three-year-old girl has died after a bouncy castle she was playing in was swept away by strong winds during an event in Montreal’s LaSalle borough, authorities say.
A Catholic church in the borough, Missione Madre Dei Cristiani, was holding a family event at Ouellette Park at about 4:30 p.m. on May 31 when the inflatable bouncy castle was blown several metres away by strong winds.
