Two people have been formally charged in connection to the sudden death of a one year old child in Strathroy.

Emergency crews had been called to a home on Penny Lane late Wednesday night after reports of the death of a one-year-old boy.

On Friday, police arrested Amanda Dumont, 28, and Scott Bakker, 24, at a Pannell Lane address in Strathroy.

Both have been charged with Criminal Negligence Causing Death and Failing to Provide the Necessaries of Life.

They are currently in custody to await a bail hearing on Monday in London.

The victim has been identified as 20 month old Ryker Daponte-Michaud of Strathroy.

Visitation service for the toddler takes place Tuesday from 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. at the Watford Chapel of Denning Funeral Directors in Watford.

That will be followed by a funeral mass Wednesday morning at 11 a.m. at Our Lady Help of Christians Church in Watford.

The investigation continues.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Staff Sgt. Gilles Philion of the Strathroy-Caradoc Police Service.
