Two people have been officially accused by the police in connection with the death of a very young infant that happened last year.
Emergency workers were called to help after getting a report about a baby who was in serious medical trouble in the neighborhood
of 33 Street and 116A Avenue on February 4, 2025.
The 25-day-old infant was rushed to a local hospital, where he passed away.
The Edmonton Police Service’s murder investigation unit was informed about the child’s death the very next day.
A medical post-mortem check determined that the baby died because of extreme, sudden lack of food and severe lack of water, and
the way the death happened was officially ruled as a murder.
On Thursday, the parents of the baby, 24-year-old Lexi Tingley and 34-year-old Wolf Song Benson, were each legally charged
with failing to provide the basic necessities of life and criminal neglect that caused a death.
No extra details regarding the case have been given out by the authorities.
