Man charged with manslaughter in death of baby granted bail

A lengthy investigation has led to serious charges for a Barrie man and woman in connection with the death of a 4-month-old baby in Innisfil.

A Barrie man, 31, is charged with manslaughter in the Nov. 2024 death of a baby in Innisfil.

The man, Anthony Fasullo, has been released from jail on conditions after a surety puts up $6,000 for bail.

A Barrie woman, 26, is being charged with failure to provide the necessities of life in connection with the same incident.

The two people were arrested this week after a lengthy investigation.

South Simcoe police say they were called to a home on Algonquin Avenue for medical service on Nov. 8, 2024.

When they arrived at the home, they say they found a four-month-old without vital signs. The baby was transported to RVH in Barrie before being transported to Sick Kids in Toronto.

Police say the baby died in hospital on Nov. 10, 2024 due to injuries from Nov. 8, 2024.

During the investigation, police say they gathered enough evidence to show there were several criminal offences. In collaboration with several units of the police force, they gave out multiple warrants at a home in Barrie on Wednesday.

The accused were held in custody for a bail hearing.

Fasullo is also under a curfew, banned from owning weapons and is not to be alone with a child or be in a position to care for a child.

The allegations against the accused have not been tested in court.
