Ontario’s police watchdog has discontinued its investigation involving London, Ont., police officers and a 33-year-old man in distress.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) says on Aug. 17, 2022, a woman called police feeling concerned for her husband’s wellbeing.
Officers found the man on the Highbury Avenue North bridge.
Police negotiated with the man for about 90 minutes before he jumped from the bridge with a noose around his neck, the SIU says.
