Calling in the Special Investigations Unit to look at an eleven year old case involving the death of a 50-year-old man.

The SIU looks at any public interaction with police that results in death, serious injury, sexual assault, or the discharge of a firearm at a person.

Thunder Bay Police provided the report to the unit earlier in the week as the events of April 1, 2010 are being looked at.

Officers arrived at the Royal Edwards Arms Building on South May Street at approximately 1:48 a.m. and removed the man from the building, leaving him out front.

Then at 2:18 a.m., an officer in a second police vehicle was flagged down for a man on the ground in medical distress.

The individual was taken to hospital in an ambulance and pronounced dead in hospital at 2:59 a.m.

A pair of investigators have been assigned to the case.
