Neighbours say the boy’s mother, who they identify as Miranda, has also spoken to police. What exactly did transpire here?

Remember the day started with the mother calling 911 frantically at 6:05 a.m. with a narrative that her boy was not in his bed and that the townhouse’s front door was wide open.

A search for a boy commenced. He was found an hour later with serious head wounds. The motionless body of the boy was located by a police dog and its handler along some railroad tracks adjacent to an old Brampton foundry a few hundred metres away.

The heroic officer found the boy was clearly unconscious and unresponsive, but he did notice some breath coming from his mouth and nose. Paramedics dove in and after transporting him to a Brampton hospital.

Davion was later airlifted by an Ornge helicopter to Sick Kids downtown where a team of doctors and nurses were preparing a response to try to save the boy’s life.

It’s too early to report on where that is going.

“He is still considered to be in life-threatening condition,” said Patten.
