Calgary police say the death of a man who passed away after an altercation with two Canada Border Service Agency (CBSA) officers aboard a plane last year wasn’t criminal in nature.
Calgary police released the findings of an investigation into the man’s death on Tuesday.
The incident happened prior to takeoff on Aug. 7, 2018, forcing the plane to be returned to the gate.
