According to police spokesman Franco Di Genova, Bedard, 36 climbed over the fence and then broke into the house using a garage door opener. Celien Dion and her husband Rene Angelil were not at home at the time of the incident.
‘He opened the water faucets, was pouring a nice warmish bath,’ Di Genova said. ‘He even managed to eat some pastry that was in the fridge.’
Bedard eventually set off the house’s security alarm and then claimed he was a ‘family friend’ of the couple when he was questioned. Bedard has been charged with breaking and entering, car theft and property damage; and has also been sent to the hospital for psychiatric evaluations, but has been released.
Dion who released her last album ‘Taking Chances’ in 2007and Angelil, 69, are parents to son Rene-Charles, 10, and twin boys Eddy and Nelson.
