Manitoba’s police watchdog is investigating after a man died in RCMP custody Friday.
Officers from the Chemawawin Cree Nation detachment got a call about a man acting erratically shortly before 2:30 p.m.
When RCMP arrived at the scene, they found a man in medical distress lying in the middle of the street.
The man was taken to the local nursing station but was unresponsive upon arrival and pronounced dead. The man’s name and age were not released.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba asked anyone with information or video footage that would help the investigation to contact them toll free at 1-844-667-6060.
