Peterborough police say the provincial Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate after a woman reportedly fell off an ambulance garage at Peterborough Regional Health Centre on Tuesday afternoon.
The SIU investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
According to the SIU, around 11:45 a.m., police were first called about a woman in distress standing on the Hunter Street bridge. Officers transported the 28-year-old woman to Peterborough Regional Health Centre, the SIU stated Wednesday.
Then around 2 p.m., police were notified the same woman was on the roof of the hospital’s ambulance garage, the SIU stated.
Police officers attempted to communicate with the woman who shortly after “fell from the roof to the ground below,” the SIU said.
The SIU says the woman suffered a serious injury.
