Multiple fatalities in Ottawa crash between train and bus
A baby boy who was born at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre in September 2012 has died over the weekend.
Julie Bilotta, then 26, gave birth to Gionni Lee Garlow on the cement floor of the Ottawa jail after guards allegedly ignored her pleas that she was in labour until it was too late to go to hospital.
When Gionni was born, he suffered respiratory problems and Bilotta needed a blood transfusion.
In October, Bilotta, who identifies herself now as Julie Dakota Garlow on Facebook wrote, "My poor baby was sick all night I'm just happy were out of the hospital! Taking a nap then bringing him to see his brother n sister."
On Sunday she wrote "How could this happen to us life will never be the same! We love you Gionni mommy will be with you soon."
Cornwall Community Police Service confirmed that there was a death shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday involving a 13-month-old child with vital signs absent, but did not confirm if the child was Bilotta's.
The infant was rushed to hospital, but was later pronounced dead. An autopsy is scheduled later this week.
Police say the coroner's office has been called in to investigate the child's "sudden death," which is required under provincial rules.
Bilotta's lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, says the woman is "absolutely devastated" by the death of her son.
A family member who answered the phone at the Cornwall residence in eastern Ontario said the child's parents are "in no shape to speak with anyone right now." The family member also declined to comment.
Bilotta was granted bail in October under the condition that she live with Gionni at a halfway house, not to use illegal drugs or associate with anyone with a criminal record or who uses drugs or alcohol. She was also ordered to take part in counselling programs.
She was being held in the detention centre for allegedly breaking conditions of her bail and several and fraud charges relating to forged cheques, which were not proved in court.
A complaint was filed and soon after an internal investigation was launched.
Bryonie Baxter, executive director of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa, said Bilotta told the staff last September that she was in pain and was having contractions every five minutes but they did not check to see how far her cervix had dilated.
Instead, nurses allegedly told her it was a "false labour" and then given an antacid for her "indigestion." Bilotta was eight months' pregnant at the time.
The province announced in August that it disciplined employees at the Ottawa jail, but they wouldn't comment on how many people were disciplined or provide further details on their job positions.
