The Canadian Press, 22 Jul, 2015 11:47 AM

GATINEAU, Que. — A Quebec man who has been charged with manslaughter after allegedly shaking his infant daughter has been granted bail.

Daniel Lefebvre's identity was made public today after a judge in the western Quebec town of Gatineau lifted a publication ban.

The 25-year-old must undergo a psychological evaluation.

Lefebvre was orginally charged with aggravated assault after the seven-week-old girl was found unconscious on July 15.

The charge was upgraded after her death a few days later.

He will return to court Oct. 5.
