Independent Watchdog Clears Abbotsford Police Of Involvement In Death

The Canadian Press, 04 May, 2016 11:32 AM
    ABBOTSFORD, B.C. — Investigators with B.C.'s independent police watchdog say Abbotsford officers had nothing to do with the death of a man involved in a fight at a Clearbrook business.
     
    Members of the Independent Investigations Office released jurisdiction of the case Tuesday, after being called to the scene on Sunday, May 1.
     
    A ruling from the office finds no connection between the action or inaction of police, and the death of the 54-year-old victim.
     
    Abbotsford officers responded to a business last Sunday evening after reports of a fight.
     
    The victim was found unconscious, without a pulse, and police performed CPR until paramedics arrived and took over. 
     
    The unnamed man died a short time later in hospital and the IIO was called because it must examine all cases of police-involved death or serious injury in British Columbia.
