North Bay Police officer cleared by SIU

The province’s Special Investigations Unit has terminated an investigation into the death of a 35 year old man last month in North Bay.

The SIU says on July 29th, North Bay Police officers were called to assist with a suspected drug-overdose victim.

An officer arrived at the scene and provided CPR for a short period prior to the paramedics assuming care of the man.

The man was taken to hospital where he was pronounced deceased.

The SIU says the officer did not cause or contribute to the man’s death and has discontinued the investigation.
