OTTAWA — The life of Gionni Lee Garlow, the baby born on the floor of an Ottawa jail cell last year, has come to a sudden end.
In the story of this short life, there are parts that have already outraged people across the country: the pregnant, young inmate’s ignored pleas, which led to the birth, and later to the firing of jail staff.
There are also parts of the story that are not yet known: whether the medical problems that killed the 13-month-old boy were related to the circumstances of his birth.
But what is clear at this moment is the part of Gionni’s story that is just deeply sad.
