MONTREAL – A Quebec police officer who died in the line of duty on the weekend is being remembered by friends as a go-to guy who was always ready to lend an ear.
Thierry Leroux had only been working for the Lac-Simon police force, a small aboriginal community in northwestern Quebec, for six months.
He died after he and another officer responded to a domestic call on Saturday night.
