Shortly after a video bail hearing on Nov. 5, the man was found in medical distress in his cell, the investigations office says, noting paramedics transported him to hospital for treatment.
The IIO, responsible for investigating all officer-related incidents resulting in serious harm or death, says it’s working to determine what role, if any, police actions or inactions may have played in the man’s condition.Sign up for our newsletter to get breaking news and daily digests sent to your email.
