Officers waited several minutes to break the door down and found the man dead in the bathroom
Victoria police have been cleared of wrongdoing in a case where officers went to the apartment of a man reported to be suicidal but couldn’t decide whether to break down the door, and eventually found him dead inside.
One of the officers then called his sergeant to see if he should kick the door in, but was told all that was known was that the man’s mother thought he was in the suite and to “keep going with voice commands and we will go from there.”At 1:46 a.m., one of the officers said he could hear movement inside the suite but there was no response to attempts at communication.Officers told IIO investigators that they had knocked repeatedly at the man’s door.
The man was found in the bathroom. An ambulance was called but it had already been determined the man was dead.
