Former Montreal city councillor Nicolas Tétrault says his son’s life was saved by medical treatments in the United States after his family had been told by a Montreal hospital to prepare for the boy’s funeral.

In October 2024, Tétrault’s 2-year-old son, Arthur, was found unresponsive in a swimming pool at a rental home in a Montreal suburb where the family was staying.
