Daycare operator denies wrongdoing in Vancouver toddler’s death

By

VANCOUVER – The operator of a Vancouver daycare where a toddler was found dead more than two years ago is denying responsibility for the death.

In court documents filed with the British Columbia Supreme Court, lawyers for Suzy Saad say the death was a tragedy but not the result of negligence.

They say Saad met the requisite standard of care and acted in accordance with provincial law.

Macallan (Mac) Saini was found dead at the Olive Branch Daycare in East Vancouver on Jan. 18, 2017.

A lawsuit filed by the toddler’s mother, Shelley Sheppard, alleges he choked on an electrical cord and claims he died in the facility because he was left alone.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.
