The SIU says that the woman was eventually released from custody and later attended a Brampton bar, where she collapsed shortly after 2:30 a.m.On Monday, the SIU confirmed that they have invoked their mandate in the case. They told CP24 that the investigation will be “focused on the circumstances surrounding the woman’s release from custody” earlier in the night.
