ROSE VALLEY, Saskatchewan — A Canadian father who left his two toddler daughters to die in a blizzard wearing only diapers and T-shirts was sentenced to three years in prison Friday.
Christopher Pauchay pleaded guilty to a single count of criminal negligence for causing the girls’ deaths. He lost the 1- and 3-year-olds while walking to a neighbor’s house during a storm Jan. 29, 2008, with the wind chill hovering at 58 degrees below zero. Pauchay’s family said he was drunk at the time.
Pauchay was suffering severe frostbite when he made it to the neighbor’s home and was taken to a hospital. Eight hours later, when he was able to speak, he asked about his children — setting off a frantic search.
