A family is dealing with the loss of a child today, after a devastating incident last night.
Last night, emergency crews were called to the farm in Emily Township, and found the child underneath a piece of machinery.
The child was pronounced dead at the scene. No names have been released.
The information regarding the incident is being reviewed with the Office of the Chief Coroner, but at this point and time the incident is being considered a tragic farming accident.
The Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs has many resources for farming families as it is recognized that children are vulnerable to farm dangers. Here are some resources found on their website to help prevent future tragedies.
