THUNDER BAY — An internal review conducted by the Thunder Bay Police Service into the death of 25-year-old Emmanuel Oruitemeka after being in custody at the police headquarters found the officer’s actions or inactions did not constitute negligence or misconduct.
Taddeo served as the liaison officer between Thunder Bay police and the Special Investigations Unit. The SIU concluded that there were no grounds to charge the two subject officers with any criminal offences following Oruitemeka’s death. The jury viewed video surveillance footage from inside the sally port and booking area of the Thunder Bay Police Service headquarters that shows an unresponsive Oruitemeka being unloaded from the police cruiser and placed face down on the floor.
“While they have training on basic first-aid and CPR, there are a number of other issues at play that would cause certain delays,” Taddeo said. “I think my view was, that length to reach a point of negligence, I think the five minutes or three minutes to call the ambulance, all of these other aspects factor in in my opinion.”
Roy also questioned Taddeo about the attitude of officers inside the police headquarters during the incident, describing it as a casual atmosphere with a lack of seriousness.
