No charges required against a pair of Thunder Bay Police Officers.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) came to that conclusion as they were looking into the April 1, 2010 death of a 50-year-old man outside the south side apartment building.
Officers arrived at the Royal Edwards Arms Building on South May Street at approximately 1:48 a.m. and removed the man from the building, leaving him out front.
Then at 2:18 a.m., an officer in a second police vehicle was flagged down for a man on the ground in medical distress.
The individual was taken to hospital in an ambulance and pronounced dead in hospital at 2:59 a.m.
SIU Director Joseph Martino, in his report released Wednesday, said that the officers had no idea that the individual suffered from a heart condition that would soon result in cardiac arrest and, tragically, death.
The SIU looks at any public interaction with police that results in death, serious injury, sexual assault, or the discharge of a firearm at a person.
