An investigation was conducted by East Algoma OPP with the assistance with the Office of the Chief Coroner.
As a result of the investigation, a 34-year-old woman from Elliot Lake is charged with causing death by criminal negligence and failing to provide the necessaries of life.
A 38 year old man from Elliot Lake has also been charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life.
Both accused appeared in Sault Ste. Marie bail court yesterday.
