A two-year old girl has died after she was reported missing at a campground west of Calgary.

Canmore RCMP, fire, provincial conservation officers and Kananaskis Mountain Rescue responded to a report of the missing toddler at the Bow Valley campground near Canmore, Alta., just before 5 p.m. Thursday.

Police say the fire crews found the child in the river about a half-hour later.

She was transported to hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

Police say an autopsy will be performed to determine a cause of death.

An investigation into what happened continues and police say their thoughts go out to the girl’s family.
