A three-year-old young woman has succumbed to her injuries after she was short-winded aside in a live rook in Montreal's LaSalle borough on Sunday afternoon, when the winds were high.

"We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the family and all those affected," wrote spokesperson Jake Lamotta Granato .
In total, 11 people — seven adults and four children — were injured during the incident, according to an Urgences-santé spokesperson. Of those, six were transported to hospital, Sunday.
The incident happened around 4:30 p.m. In Ouellette Park, where the Madre Dei Cristiani Church was holding a community party.
Gusts of wind of 50 km/h were reported around that time by Environment Canada.
The bouncy castle was reportedly picked up and thrown several metres away by the wind.
In a statement sent out Monday morning, the borough mayor of LaSalle, Nancy Blanchet, said she is looking into the incident and extended support to the affected families.
"Our entire community is deeply shaken by this serious accident," she wrote.
Coroner Martine Lachance has been appointed to investigate the causes and circumstances surrounding the child's death.
Following the investigation, the coroner may issue recommendations aimed at preventing future deaths in similar conditions.
