The actions of the RCMP had no role in the death of a man who was found in his vehicle on the shore of the Saanich Inlet late last year, British Columbia's police watchdog has found.
The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. concluded its investigation Thursday into the Nov. 20 death.
At approximately 7:20 p.m., the man was reported to have breached the conditions of his release and an officer with the West Shore RCMP detachment contacted him to speak about it. "There were concerns regarding the man's mental wellness, but available information reflects that grounds did not exist to apprehend the man under the Mental Health Act," the investigations office said in a statement.
