MONTREAL — Quebec’s police ethics board says two Montreal officers lied to investigators about the 2017 death of a 23\u002Dyear\u002Dold man in custody.
Administrative judge Benoit Mc Mahon says Const. Mathieu Pare and Dominic Gagne — since promoted to detective-sergeant — were negligent or showed a lack of concern for the man’s well-being when they wrote on an intake form that he did not suffer from any medical conditions or take medication.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.
That interaction betweenKalubi and Gagne was caught on video and contradicted the officers’ written reports and oral statements to investigators from Quebec’s police watchdog — Bureau des enquetes independantes. The two officers had attempted to have their written accounts and oral statements excluded from evidence before the ethics board, but that request was denied.
In 2019, Quebec prosecutors decided that the actions of the two officers did not constitute criminal negligence and that Kalubi’s inability to access his anemia medication was unrelated to the heart condition that killed him.This report by The Canadian Press was first published Feb. 7, 2023.
