LYNN LAKE – A woman has been charged with criminal negligence causing death in the drowning of a two-month-old baby last year in northern Manitoba.

RCMP say officers responded to a report of an unresponsive infant last September in Lynn Lake, northwest of Thompson.

They say when officers arrived at the hospital, the baby was not breathing and was pronounced dead.
