Watchdog investigating Prince George RCMP officers after man dies in correctional facility

Prince George Mounties are being investigated after a man reportedly died in custody while at a correctional centre.

The man died at the Prince George facility on Oct. 3, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of BC said.

Two days before his death, he had “contact” with the RCMP, the IIO added.

“The IIO is investigating to determine what role, if any, police actions or inaction may have played in the man’s death,” the watchdog explained.

“The BC Coroners Service is also conducting an independent investigation to determine the circumstances of his death.”

The IIO investigates all officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.
