TORONTO — A visitation is scheduled for today for a Toronto boy who died after wandering outside in the middle of a bitterly cold night dressed only in a shirt, diapers and boots.
Three-year-old Elijah Marsh died a week ago after leaving his grandmother's apartment building, sparking a search that gripped people across the country.
His family has extended a public invitation to today's visitation and Saturday's funeral.
An online fundraising campaign to raise money for Elijah's funeral brought in a total of $173,557.
And the mother of a four-year-old boy — who wandered naked out in the cold the day after Elijah died but was found by a neighbour just in time — is to appear in a Toronto court.
The boy's 23-year old mother was granted bail last Saturday after being charged with abandoning a child under 10.
