Mounties in Airdrie were called out to a complaint that a three-week old baby was not breathing yesterday afternoon at 12:25 p.m.

The newborn was taken to the Calgary Children's Hospital by ambulance which was escorted by the Airdrie RCMP and the Calgary Police Service. 

The baby was pronounced deceased shortly thereafter.

RCMP are investigating but say they don't believe COVID-19 to be related to this death.
