A neighbor, Mitsuko Clysdale hear loud voices from the house across the street. She saw the panicked parents amidst the commotion. It was a horrible way to lose a child, especially while under supervision.

Another neighbor, Ian Johnston who lives on the other side of the house with the swimming pool only knew about the incident when he viewed out his window. He saw an RCMP officer frantically attempting to save the life of the child in the backyard.

During a surprise visit in January, Fraser Health discovered several violations at the daycare including too many young children. Out of the 8 children at the time of the inspection, 5 were under 3 years old which was 2 more than what was allowed under the license of the daycare.
