The Comox Valley RCMP have been cleared of any wrongdoing in the April 23, 2022 death of a man in their custody.
The decision, by Ronald J. MacDonald, chief civilian director of the Independent Investigations Office, did not come without criticisms of the system as a whole, however.
According to the original IIO report obtained by Black Press, the Comox Valley RCMP were called to a residence on the 3300 block of Kentwood Road, at 4:30 a.m.
