Toronto police say an eight month-old baby has died after being pulled from a house fire on Saturday morning.
Police say four people – two children and two adults –were taken to hospital after reports of a fire in the city’s east end.
They say the baby was rushed to hospital in life-threatening condition and later pronounced dead.
Police say a man has been arrested in the case, but they don’t have any information about possible charges at this time.
