    • Police Watchdog Probes Officer-Involved Death Of Man In B.C.'s Fraser Valley
    AGASSIZ, B.C. — RCMP say British Columbia's police watchdog has been called to investigate the death of a man who apparently injured himself with a knife.
     
    Sgt. Annie Linteau says Mounties responded to a complaint about a man holding a sharp object near his stomach in Agassiz, located about 125 kilometres east of Vancouver. 
     
    She says the man appeared to be in distress when officers arrived at about 6 a.m. Wednesday, and he was eventually subdued and taken into custody.
     
    Linteau says the man died in an ambulance because of his apparent self-inflicted injuries.
     
    Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
     
    The Independent Investigations Office investigates cases of death or serious injuries involving police.
