A memorial of teddy bears and other toys has been growing on the lawn outside of a home where a five-year-old boy was found dead in Coteau-du-Lac, Que., about 55 kilometres southwest of Montreal.

Grieving members of the community, which is home to about 7,400 residents, laid the plushies Wednesday night after Quebec provincial police investigators remained at the scene for most of the day.

“It’s devastating,” Amanda Brenie, who lives across the street, said in a brief interview the next day. Her teenage daughter brought a stuffed animal on their family’s behalf to pay their respects.

The boy was found unresponsive after police were called to the home on du Fleuve Road around 3 a.m. Wednesday.

His death, which was confirmed at the hospital, is being treated as suspicious by investigators. Two other people inside the home were also taken to hospital.
