The parents of an 11-year-old boy who tragically died following a carbon monoxide leak in Regina have filed a lawsuit, alleging negligence on the part of several parties. Henry Losco was declared dead at the scene of the dangerous gas leak on Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, as confirmed by a handout photo released by the Canadian Press.
Details of the Incident
The incident occurred in a residential area of Regina, where a carbon monoxide leak led to the untimely death of the young boy. Emergency services responded to the scene, but Henry could not be revived. The exact source of the leak and the circumstances surrounding the event are under investigation.
Lawsuit Filed
The lawsuit, filed by Henry's parents, Sergio Losco and his spouse, targets multiple defendants, including property owners and potentially maintenance companies. The plaintiffs argue that negligence in maintaining proper safety standards led to the deadly leak. They seek damages for wrongful death, emotional distress, and other losses.
Legal representatives for the family stated that the goal is to hold responsible parties accountable and prevent such tragedies in the future. The case highlights the dangers of carbon monoxide, a colorless, odorless gas that can be fatal in high concentrations.
Community Reaction
The Regina community has expressed shock and grief over the loss. Friends and neighbors described Henry as a bright and energetic child who loved sports and school. A memorial was held in his honor, with many calling for stricter enforcement of carbon monoxide detector requirements.
Safety Recommendations
Authorities urge all residents to install carbon monoxide detectors in their homes and ensure regular maintenance of heating systems. The tragedy underscores the importance of public awareness about this silent killer. The lawsuit may also prompt legislative reviews of safety regulations in residential properties.
The court proceedings are expected to begin later this year. The family has requested privacy during this difficult time.
