KAPUSKASING, Ont. – Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating after a man died in Kapuskasing, Ont. on Saturday.
The Special Investigations Unit says an Ontario Provincial Police officer was investigating a vehicle near the Northern Ontario town, when he found a man inside with what appeared to be a long-barrelled weapon.
Police secured the immediate area and the SIU says officers found that the man had suffered a gunshot wound – he died later Saturday.
The SIU describes the case as a “custody death” but the agency gives few other details.
The SIU is automatically called in whenever police are involved in an incident where a person is killed or suffers serious injury.
