FILE PHOTO -- Daniel J. Rowe / CTV News Montreal
A seven-year-old boy is in hospital in critical condition after his parents found him unconscious in a bathtub.
Montreal police (SPVM) says the incident occurred at 6 p.m. Monday on Chambord St. in the Rosemont–la Petite-Patrie borough.
First responders performed CPR on the child on the way to the hospital, according to Montreal police spokesperson Jean-Pierre Brabant.
Both parents were treated for shock.
"Right now, this looks more like an accident than a criminal act. No criminal elements were found so far," Brabant said.
Montreal police has launched an investigation into the incident.
