A Toronto police officer who shot a distraught teen on an empty streetcar is arguing that an inquest should examine whether the youth may have died by 'suicide by cop.'

The lawyer for James Forcillo, who was convicted of attempted murder in Sammy Yatim's death, is arguing that the inquest should look at the teen's text messages and web browsing history in the months leading up to the shooting. Lawyers for Yatim's family are asking for the motion to be dismissed, arguing it is an abuse of process and puts blame on the teen for his own death without evidence to support the suggestion that he died by "suicide by cop."The shooting set off a wave of public outrage and protests after cell phone footage of what happened was posted online.
