Ontario's police watch- dog has cleared Halton Re- gional Police of wrongdo- ing in the death of a 44- year-old man found in an Oakville school portable last year. Police were called to the school near Bronte Road and Dundas Street West Feb. 20, 2018 after a custodi- an at the school could not be found by a colleague, the Special Investigations Unit report says. He started work at 7 p.m. but by 9:30 p.m. he was missing.

A secu- rity staff member found a trail of blood around the 44- year-old's pickup truck and called police. Officers arrived on scene shortly 12:30 a.m. and followed the trail of blood to a portable on the school property, the SIU said. A bloodied box cutter and pools of blood were found in the truck.found in the truck.f At the portable police called out, but there was no answer. Police found the 44-year-old had a regis- tered firearm licence and so another officer went to check on the man's family and to see if he was home. The man was not home, but his wife reported that she had received distressed calls and text messages from him. He said he lovedfrom him. He said he lovedf her and was sorry for any grief, before the phone call dropped at 11 p.m. On scene tactical offi- cers, a canine-unit officer and a negotiator were called in, but there was still no response from inside the portable, the SIU said. The critical incident com- mender - the subject officer in the investigation - ar- rived shortly after 1 a.m. Noises from inside made police believe he had barricaded himself inside. The man could be seen through the window with a cut to his neck. He did not respond to cellphone calls. At 2:15 a.m. tactical offi- cers forced their way in- side and found the man ly- ing on the floor, uncon- scious but breathing. He had cuts to his neck and right wrist. The man died later that day in hospital. The cause of death was hypoxia from lack of blood. SIU director Tony Lo- parco concluded there were no reasonable grounds to charge any offi- cers. "Even had they acted less prudently and more quickly, it appears unlikely on the evidence that they would have been able to save the life of the com- plainant, as he had already inflicted the fatal injuries prior to the police ever be- ing notified," he said.
