MORLEY, Alta. – RCMP and paramedics were called to a rural home west of Calgary on Wednesday where an infant was pronounced dead and 14 other people were found suffering from influenza-like symptoms.<\/p>\n

Cpl. Curtis Peters said Mounties went to a home in Morley, on the Stoney Nakoda First Nation 60 kilometres west of Calgary, to check on a report of a child in medical distress.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe investigation is very preliminary right now,\u201d Peters said. \u201cWe don’t know a lot of details, but unfortunately we can confirm that a child did die at that residence.\u201d<\/p>\n

The RCMP said its major crimes unit is assisting the Cochrane detachment with the investigation.<\/p>\n

EMS spokesman Stuart Brideaux said a four-month-old was pronounced dead at the home.<\/p>\n

He said 10 children and four young adults were rushed to hospital. One young child was in serious condition, while the rest were stable.<\/p>\n

The symptoms were mainly respiratory, said Brideaux.<\/p>\n

\u201cLargely these are the typical symptoms we see in any seasonal flu,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cSomebody may have some shortness of breath. They may have a fever. They may be feeling just generally unwell.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sickest child was in one ambulance, while the rest were well enough to be transported in groups of three or four, said Brideaux.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday evening, two RCMP vehicles and an ambulance were parked at a large blue house nestled off a dirt road as wet, heavy snow fell.<\/p>\n

One of the cruisers was blocking off the driveway and a man told media gathered outside that the children’s mother wanted privacy.<\/p>\n

Brideaux said it appeared there was a \u201cfamilial relationship\u201d for all involved, but it was not clear how all of them were related.<\/p>\n

He said when EMS personnel deal with multiple patients, it’s usually because of something like a car crash or violent trauma – not an illness.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom a medical standpoint, it is quite unusual and rare,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Edith Pedneault, an official with Indigenous Services Canada, said the department has offered support to community health officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur thoughts are with the family and the community of Stoney Nakoda at this tragic time,\u201d she wrote in an email.<\/p>\n

She referred all questions about what happened to RCMP.<\/p>\n
