Ontario’s police watchdog says it’s investigating the death of a 24-year-old woman who fell from an Oshawa parking garage on Monday.
In a statement, the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said Durham Regional Police officers were contacted around 2 p.m. regarding a person who was on the roof of a parking structure.
When officers arrived, they located the woman on the roof of the structure on Mary Street and “attempts were made to speak with her,” the SIU said.
The woman fell seven floors to the ground below and died at the scene, according to the police watchdog.
One officer has been designated a subject officer, while a second has been deemed a witness.
The SIU said three investigators and two forensic investigators are looking into the incident.
