The mother of a toddler who drowned after being swept into the Grand River last year allegedly tested positive for Percocet, OxyContin, and cocaine on the night of her son’s death, according to a letter outlined in recently available family court documents.
Investigators have previously said that 35-year-old Michelle Hanson and her toddler Kaden Young were driving southbound on 10th Line in Amaranth Township early in the morning of Feb. 21 when it is alleged that she failed to stop at a road closure sign.
The toddler’s body was found by a fisherman on April 21 after crews spent several weeks searching for the young boy. In a child custody decision published online, Ontario Superior Court Justice Chozik referenced allegations that Hanson was under the influence of drugs on the night of her son’s death. “The letter confirms that after the criminal charges were laid, the DCAFS received information from the OPP that toxicology screens showed that at the time of the accident on February 21, 2018, the mother tested positive for the following substances: Percocet, OxyContin, Cocaine and alcohol,” Chozik wrote.
