SIU Investigating Death of Woman After Fatal Fall in Toronto

Mississauga, ON (20 May, 2025) ---
The Special Investigations Unit found no reasonable grounds to believe Toronto Police Service officers committed a criminal offence in connection with the death of a 29-year-old woman. The SIU investigated as officers attempted to prevent her fall from the upper floor balcony of an apartment in the area of King Street West and Spadina Avenue on January 21, 2025.

Full Director’s Report (with Incident Narrative, Evidence, and Analysis & Director’s Decision): 

The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of officials (municipal, regional and provincial police officers, police officers with the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service, special constables with the Niagara Parks Commission and peace officers with the Legislative Protective Service) that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person. All investigations are conducted by SIU investigators who are civilians. Under the Special Investigations Unit Act, the Director of the SIU must

  • consider whether the official has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation
  • depending on the evidence, cause a criminal charge to be laid against the official where grounds exist for doing so, or close the file without any charges being laid
  • publicly report the results of its investigations
