Criminal charges have been stayed against an Edmonton woman whose young son drowned in a lake southwest of Edmonton.
Carmen Gaye Stewart was charged in 2014 with criminal negligence causing death and failing to provide the necessaries of life.
An older boy found Stewart’s son, Traeh, floating in Mink Lake near Stony Plain around 9 p.m. on June 30, 2013.
Some adults at the scene tried performing CPR. Traeh died the next day at Stollery Children’s Hospital in Edmonton.
He was three years old.
Court records show the charge of failing to provide the necessaries of life was stayed during a trial in Edmonton earlier this week.
The criminal negligence charge was stayed in October.
