Protesters march to highlight the deaths in the U.S. of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, and of Toronto's Regis Korchinski-Paquet, who died after falling from an apartment building while police officers were present, in Toronto, May 30, 2020.CARLOS OSORIO/Reuters
Ontario’s police watchdog says it has interviewed all six police officers who were at a 29-year-old woman’s Toronto apartment before she fell to her death last week.
The Special Investigations Unit says it has also found video security footage at the building in the city’s west end where Regis Korchinski-Paquet died.
The SIU says it has interviewed four other witnesses and is expected to interview Ms. Korchinski-Paquet’s family this week.
The 29-year-old woman’s death sparked an outcry from her family who said they called police to help with her mental health.
Thousands marched on Saturday to police headquarters to protest the treatment by officers of black and Indigenous people and those in a mental-health crisis.
The family, police Chief Mark Saunders and Mayor John Tory have asked the SIU to expedite the investigation, which the watchdog says it is doing.
