Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit has been called in to investigate after a man died at Tews Falls in Dundas.

The SIU says a 28-year-old man was “involved” with Guelph Police Service officers early in the day on Friday. During the evening hours, someone told police that the man was going to harm himself.

Police determined that he was headed to Tews Falls and found his truck there, but a search with the assistance of Hamilton police was called off when it became too dark to continue.

On Saturday morning, police found the man dead at the bottom of the escarpment.
