The province’s Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of a 58-year-old man yesterday in The Archipelago.
Preliminary information suggests the following:
At approximately 12 p.m. on May 19, 2022, the man called police and informed that he intended to harm himself. As a result of speaking with the man’s family, Ontario Provincial Police officers made their way to a cottage on Shawanaga Landing.
While on scene, officers heard the sound of a gunshot coming from near the water. Officers located the man, deceased.
Three SIU investigators have been assigned to this case.
The SIU is urging anyone who may have information about this investigation, including video or photos, to contact the lead investigator at 1-800-787-8529 or online at: https://siu.on.ca/en/appeals.php.
Why on earth is this an SIU investigation? Police had little if any opportunity to deal with this person who was obviously determined to move on to the next universe!
