The tragic case of a Calgary toddler’s death has led to the guilty pleas of his parents, who admitted to manslaughter charges. Michael Sinclair, 30, and Sonya Pasqua, 33, faced legal repercussions after their 18-month-old son, Gabriel Sinclair-Pasqua, was found unresponsive in their home in October 2021.
The incident unfolded when emergency services were called to their residence in the 2800 block of 14 Avenue S.E. Upon arrival, the child was pronounced dead at the scene. This devastating event came after a protracted investigation, which ultimately resulted in the charges against the parents being laid 16 months later.
According to law enforcement, the circumstances leading to the charges were complex, involving significant inquiry into the child’s living situation. Reports indicate that Gabriel had initially been living with extended family in Taber, Alberta, shortly after his birth, but had returned to Calgary to be with his parents just a few months prior to his passing.
