Quebec: Autistic boy's drowning under investigation.

Friday July 27, 2007

Police are investigating the death of a six-year-old autistic boy who drowned after it took camp authorities two hours to notify lifeguards that he was missing and three hours to get the police involved. Lucas Beaupr was at Lac-St-Joseph, some 30 kilometres outside Quebec City, on Wednesday with about 100 other youngsters from an area day camp. He went missing shortly after his arrival at the beach and it remains unclear how the boy, who was under supervision, was able to go off on his own.
