24-year-old Joseph Dumont has been charged with manslaughter following the death of his two-month-old daughter.

The girl was brought to St. Jerome hospital Wednesday in critical condition.

She was suffering from cardiac arrest, and hospital staff and police thought the girl had been abused.

Hours after being resuscitated, the infant died.

Dumont was arrested soon after, and arraigned in court Thursday afternoon. He is scheduled to appear in court again Friday.
