The baby was sent home, but then started bleeding. He died 7 days after the circumcision from loss of blood:

The parents called about bleeding later that day, though, and he advised them to take Ryan to Toronto’s North York General Hospital, which they did.
“We … waited for care that could have saved his life, but that level of care never came,” says Ahmadi.
A sparse outline in the board’s decision says Ryan was eventually transferred to Sick Kids hospital, but died there seven days later. Pathologists said he succumbed to “hypovolemic shock” caused by bleeding from the circumcision, which emptied his body of 35 to 40 per cent of its blood.
The doctor at North York General — whose name has been withheld according to College policy — was cautioned for failing to recognize the seriousness of the boy’s condition or treating “compensated shock” – the first stage of the condition.

The hospital couldn't stop the bleeding over the course of a week?
