Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 26-TCI-063
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with police and non-police witnesses, and video footage that largely captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. Two subject officers travelled to a residence in a metropolitan area to arrest the affected person for criminal harassment. They had earlier spoken to a person, who reported that the affected person had stalked them. The person was concerned for their safety, and the safety of their family as the affected person continued to attend their residence despite being told to stop. The affected person answered the officers’ knock on the door and was told they were to be arrested. They told the officers to get a warrant and closed the door, making their way to the basement. They called a family member, made remarks suggesting self-harm, and locked themselves in the basement bathroom where they proceeded to harm themselves. The subject officers were allowed into the residence by a witness, who expressed concern for the affected person’s safety. The officers went to the basement and started to speak to the affected person through the bathroom door. They told them they wanted to ensure their safety. The affected person said they were fine and taking a shower. The officers grew increasingly worried with the affected person’s wellbeing as their voice started to fade and attempted, unsuccessfully, to force open the door. Within minutes, additional officers arrived with a breach tool. The door was opened and officers entered. The affected person was inside the bathtub with injuries. Paramedics were called to the scene and transported them to hospital.
