A new video has been released showing what appears to be an interaction between Toronto police officers and Regis Korchinski-Paquet moments before she fell from a balconyThe video was shared by Jason E. Bogle, the lawyer representing Korchinski-Paquet's family, on Wednesday afternoon during a news conference announcing a $10-million civil lawsuit in connection with her death.
The SIU, which investigates incidents involving police that resulted in a death, serious injury, sexual assault allegations or the discharge of a firearm, In the video, Weddell is seen with a firearm, which appears to be a shotgun. He is then seen holstering it across his back as he walks toward the unit.
A short time later, Korchinski-Paquet was allowed to enter her unit again. Three officers, including Weddell, also went inside her apartment, Bogle said, noting that the officers were inside for about one minute. Bogle also accused Weddell and the other officers of conspiring "to create a narrative that was inaccurate" to deceive the family and the public.
"The witness noted that the phone call was terminated and that her additional attempts to re-establish connections were terminated on Ms. Korchinski-Paquet's cellphone. All attempts to reconnect to the call and find the phone have basically failed," Bogle said.CP24 has reached out the SIU for comment but has not heard back.The family is suing the city and TCHC for allegedly failing to erect a fence on Korchinski-Paquet's balcony despite several requests.
