GRANBY, Que. — A funeral is underway east of Montreal for a seven-year-old girl whose death has outraged the Quebec public and prompted an investigation into the province’s youth protection system.
The ceremony began at around 11 a.m. as several dozen family and friends accompanied a child-sized wooden coffin into the packed St-Eugene Church.
Inside the 78-year-old building, some of the stuffed animals that had been left in the wake of the girl’s death were perched in front of the ornate stained-glass windows.
