Toddler’s body found more than a month after she was swept away in Quebec floods

SAINTE-ANNE-DES-MONTS, Que. — The body of a two-year-old girl who was swept away during Quebec’s heavy floods in May has been recovered.

Daphnee Levesque’s corpse was found about one-and-a-half kilometres from where the vehicle in which was a passenger swerved off a waterlogged road into the surging Sainte-Anne River.

The heavy current pulled the car toward the river and its occupants fell into the water when the vehicle flipped on May 7.

Levesque’s mother was able to save herself but her boyfriend, Mike Gagnon, 37, and Daphnee were carried away.
