The Special Investigations Unit has cleared two East Algoma OPP officers in connection with an April 20th shooting incident in Elliot Lake.
Joseph Marino, the director of the SIU, says a 49-year-old man is responsible for his own death following the incident at the Elliot Lake Parole Office.
Marino says the man came to the office for a scheduled meeting and a few minutes later the two officers arrived to arrest him on a breach of a probation order.
Marino says witnesses heard the man yell at the officers not to come in the room and then shot himself with a firearm he had tucked in his waistband.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene.
Marino stresses there are no reasonable grounds to believe that any police committed a criminal offence in connection with the complainant’s self-inflicted death.
