The Ontario Special Investigations Unit has been called in to investigate
fatality involving a 41 year old man from the North Spirit Lake First Nation.
The SIU says the man was picked up by the OPP from the Red Lake Detachment
last Monday.
Later in the day he had to be taken to the hospital in Red Lake and then was
transferred to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Center.
Yesterday, the man died.
The SIU says four of its investigators are being sent to Red Lake to look
into the incident.
The SIU is called in any time someone dies while in police custody.
