The Independent Investigations Office is investigating after a man died following an interaction with police Monday morning.
Vancouver Police responded shortly before 8 a.m. Monday after a man was seen acting erratically near East Hastings Street and Dunlevy Avenue.
Following an interaction with police, the man was taken into custody. He then went into medical distress and lost consciousness.
Despite life-saving attempts, the man died at the scene.
The cause is unknown and RCMP have released no other details. Highway 5 remains closed in both directions and drivers have been told to expect long delays.
A report issued by Ronald MacDonald of the Independent Investigations Office says the man's hip was broken when he pulled out a weapon and was thrown to the ground during the arrest in May 201
