Ontario’s police watchdog has assigned four investigators to probe the death of a man found “incoherent and unresponsive” by officers in a Hamilton residence.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says the 49-year-old was found around 10:45 p.m. on Monday at a home in Dundas during a “medical call” and had to be restrained by police to allow paramedics to treat him.
