  • B.C. pair accused of neglect in death of North Okanagan youngster in 2020

Two North Okanagan residents have been ordered to appear in a Vernon, B.C., courtroom in January as they face charges of neglect that led to the death of a child nearly four years ago.

RCMP Cpl. James Grandy says police were called to the Lumby area east of Vernon on April 4, 2020, after paramedics located a critically ill boy.

He was flown to hospital in Kelowna, but died the next day.

Mounties and the coroner investigated the death.

Grandy says the probe has led to charges against 29-year-old Keisha McCrea and 23-year-old Brian Chciuk.

They each face a single count of failure to provide the necessities of life and remain in the community while awaiting their next court date on Jan. 4, 2024 in Vernon.
