B.C.'s police watchdog has cleared the Victoria Police Department of wrongdoing after officers found a man dead inside his home during a wellness check last year.
On Feb. 9, 2022, Victoria police went to a residential building in the 1900-block of Fort Street after a man's mother called 911 with concerns about her son's wellbeing.
The neighbour also told police that building staff members had a key to the man's unit, but that no staff members were present because it was the weekend. In this instance, the IIO says it needed to check if police had acted negligently or if they disregarded anyone's safety during their response.
