A woman has been arrested in connection with the death of a newborn infant a few days after it was born on December 27th, 2023.
The child was delivered unresponsive at a home in Ladysmith.
Mounties have charged 77 year Gloria Lemay with manslaughter.
They believe a woman was involved in the birth process that led to the infant’s injuries and death.
Last January, the BC College of Nurses and Midwives issued a notice warning that Lemay was not a registered midwife and that she was under a court order from the BC Supreme Court not to perform any services related to midwifery.
