Gokulnath Manivannan and his wife Ashwitha Jawahar were the sole survivors of the Monday crash, according to a statement provided to CBC News from Ontario's Special Investigations Unit on Sunday. In it, he detailed part of what has transpired since, including the loss of his three-month-old son Aditya Vivaan, his father Manivannan Srinivasapillai and his mother Mahalakshmi Ananthakrishnan.
"We are at a complete loss of words to describe the agony and vacuum in our hearts knowing we can never hold our child Aditya Vivaan, who gave us so many precious memories in such a short time, in our hands again," wrote Manivannan."My father, who had recently retired at the age of 60, was overjoyed with the opportunity to spend time with his grandson. He affectionately referred to this time as the 'year of grandparents fun,'" he wrote.
