The visitation and funeral service are not open to the public; however, details on a public livestream are expected to be released closer to the service date.

OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique said Monday night that the 33-year-old Malcolm joined the provincial police force in 2020.

He was also a member of the force’s precision motorcycle team, the Golden Helmets.
