A three-year-old boy has been found dead on a minibus at Edmonton in the south of Cairns. Queensland Police say he was discovered inside the vehicle, which was parked out the front of a school on Stokes Street, at 3:15pm today.
Detectives from the Child Protection Investigation Unit in Cairns are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident. "We're just trying to work out exactly what's happened between now and when he should have been delivered to the day care centre," Inspector Jason Smith told Channel Nine. "The death of any child is an awful thing, which is why it is so important for us to get to the bottom of this," he said.
