#Breaking: Arrest made in 2015 death of toddler Nathaniel McLellan thestar.com/news/canada/20…
Last week, a 5-part Star investigation looked into the death of a toddler after a mysterious injury.

What really happened to Nathaniel?

Part 1: Just Another Day #DeathInASmallTown thestar.com/news/investiga…
As Nathaniel clung to life, his parents asked if he’d survive. What they didn’t ask would soon be held against them

Part 2: Suspicion thestar.com/news/investiga…
The police said they had information on Nathaniel’s death. Instead, they separated his parents and warned: ‘We are pursuing a manslaughter charge’

Part 3: The Case thestar.com/news/investiga…
Frustrated with the police investigation into Nathaniel’s death, his mother turned detective. What she found raised questions about the official probe

Part 4: Mom Fights Back thestar.com/news/investiga…
More than five years after Nathaniel died, the police investigation was still open. The Star’s own investigation examined numerous apparent flaws


Part 5: Wrong turns
thestar.com/news/investiga…
An arrest has now been made in the five-and-a-half-year old case involving the mysterious death of a toddler who collapsed at a home daycare in Strathroy.

Meggin Van Hoof, who ran the unlicensed daycare, was charged with manslaughter Wednesday morning. She was to appear in Strathroy court for a bail hearing later Wednesday. thestar.com/news/canada/20…

Vivian Xie has become one of University of Toronto’s youngest grads at just the age of 16.

“Sometimes I myself forget what age I am.”

thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
Despite beginning her post-secondary education at 12, her university life has been “really normal,” Xie said, excluding the drinking, going to bars and driving. thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…
The subject of her age rarely came up unless she mentioned it, or professors happened to hear about it.


“If you looked at it from a perspective where you didn’t know my age, you probably wouldn’t be able to tell that I was any different.” thestar.com/news/gta/2021/…

On this week’s #GTAHomeHunt, we look at a condo in West Queen West that could potentially go for under $500,000.

Why is it priced? A big reason is due to past issues with the building developers — Urbancorp — which filed for bankruptcy in 2016. torstar.co/D7LV50FhS33
The unit is estimated to go for about $550,000, but real estate agent Othneil Litchmore says it could be negotiated down and will likely go for the current listed price due to past issues with the building developers. thestar.com/business/perso…
“You can get a deal here because the pool of buyers is smaller and due to previous issues with the building developers,” said Litchmore. “Buildings can turn themselves around.” thestar.com/business/perso…
