Death in Calgary police holding cell not caused by officers: ASIRT

'All the evidence supports that while in custody, the man was cared for in a proper fashion,' said ASIRT

Alberta’s police watchdog says there’s no evidence the death of a man in a CPS holding cell several hours after his arrest was caused by officers.

On Oct. 18, Calgary police were called to a “disturbance” at a fast-food restaurant located at 5222 130th Ave. S.E. where the responding officer “observed a male acting erratically,” read an Oct. 25 release from the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT).
