Officers cleared of wrongdoing in Collingwood woman's death
Ontario Provincial Police officers have been cleared of any wrongdoing following a probe into the death of a woman in Collingwood in December.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) took on the case after the woman's self-inflicted death on Dec. 22, 2023.
According to the SIU's report, the woman called 911 about a break-in, and when they arrived at her home, she warned them not to enter. The report states the officers then witnessed her through a window harming herself with a knife.
The SIU says the officers broke through the door and attempted life-saving measures until paramedics arrived.
The 39-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
