SIU clears Dryden OPP officer in death

The Ontario Special Investigations Unit has cleared an OPP officer of any wrong-doing in the death of a man incarcerated at the Dryden Detachment back in October.

A 41-year-old man was arrested in a residence and appeared to be intoxicated.

He was then taken to the Dryden detachment for booking and placed in a cell.

He appeared to be agitated at times and fell off his bunk and seemed to into a seizure.

He was taken to hospital and was pronounced deceased.

The SIU says there are no reasonable grounds to believe that the officer committed a criminal offence in connection with the man’s death.
