A five-year-old boy died in house fire on the Sandy Bay Ojibway First Nation in Manitoba, the second incident of its kind this year.
The fire began early Thursday morning in an overcrowded home where as many as 11 people, including eight children, lived. Tristan Mousseau was somehow left behind.
"He was sleeping but they woke everybody up. I don't know how they forgot about him. I can't really say," Alvin Maytwayashing, the boy's grandfather, told CBC News.
A nine-year-old girl died in a house fire in another overcrowded home on the reserve in February.
