Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating the death of a 37-year-old man in Toronto’s Regent Park.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said Monday that the incident happened just after 11 p.m. Sunday near Sumach and Dundas streets.
The SIU said Toronto police officers responded to a domestic dispute call and when they checked an apartment, they could not find a man who they were looking for.
A call then came in for a man who was on the ground. The man turned out to be the person the officers were looking for, the SIU said.
