KAMLOOPS — The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. (IIO) is looking into the death of a man in Kamloops last week, and whether police action or inaction played a role.
At approximately 5:00 pm on June 28, 2022, a bystander noticed some people who appeared to be unconscious at the North Shore bus loop. He reported his observations to the RCMP. Chief Civilian Director of the IIO Ron McDonald stated that is where their investigation begins.
“About two hours later, it appears that same individual was found in very poor condition and he later passed away. Therefore the question is what, if anything did that police officer, who received that information, do with the information that was received at 5:00 p.m. allegedly,” said McDonald.
