SIU Looking Into Man’s Death

An investigation is underway into the death of a man while in custody at Atitokan OPP station.

They say on Sunday evening they were called about someone violating his bail conditions.

OPP brought the 37-year-old to the station, and at around 9:30 say he went into medical distress. He was taken hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Special Investigations Unit is looking into what happened, as it does whenever there is a death, serious injury or sexual assault where police are involved.

In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
