BREAKING: No criminal charges will be laid against police in the death of Taresh Bobby Ramroop, who fell from a west-end Toronto highrise last fall, Ontario's police watchdog says.
Family members demanded accountability in days after Ramroop fell to his death from Toronto highriseA GoFundMe page for Ramroop identifies him as a cargo handler for FedEx Canada. A video on the company's YouTube page features Ramrooop speaking about his job saying his workplace feels 'like a family.'
Family members and friends of Ramroop gathered outside the apartment building where he died in the days after his death, demanding that police be held accountable, saying what their loved one needed was mental health help — not a police response.Police officers were called to the building in the Jane Street and Finch Avenue West area just before 4:30 p.m. after multiple reports that a person was tossing furniture off of a balcony on the 16th floor.
Two officers first arrived at Ramroop's apartment at about 4:50 p.m., using a key provided by the superintendent, the report said. Inside, Ramroop's brother told them Ramroop was alone in his bedroom. The ETF considered rappelling down from the roof of the building into the apartment, but ultimately decided against that option in case Ramroop might be armed, the report said, adding "the sergeant ultimately decided officers would not rappel into the apartment unless the complainant was in some form of medical distress."
