Earlier this month, there was a domestic case at Quarry Edge Drive in Brampton, which resulted in the death of the man and woman. The Special Investigations Unit was called in to investigate if the Peel Police has contributed to the man’s death.

Interim Director of the Special Investigations Unit, Joseph Martino, has concluded the investigation into the death of the man.

On the night of May 1, a 12-year-old injured boy went to a neighbour’s home and informed that there had been a domestic situation involving his mother and father. The neighbour contacted 911. When Peel Police entered the residence, officers located a 47-year-old man lying on the floor of the main floor bathroom. He had stab wounds to the neck and was doused in gasoline. Peel Police arrested the man. The officers applied emergency first aid, and when the man stopped breathing, CPR was administered. When paramedics and firefighters arrived, they took over care of the man. Despite their efforts, the man was pronounced dead at the scene.

“Based on the foregoing record, as established by the SIU’s preliminary inquiries, it is evident that no police officer caused or contributed to the man’s death. Accordingly, the SIU’s investigation is hereby discontinued and the file closed,” said Interim Director Martino.

A 41-year-old woman who was found on the second floor of the home was transported to Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre where she was pronounced dead. The 12-year-old boy was taken to hospital for treatment of stab wounds. His 3-year-old sister had been able to get out of the home unharmed.
