Officials have released the cause of death of a Sudbury teen who died while on the job at a residence in Lively in May. Roch (Rocco) Renaud, 19, died of 'acute carbon monoxide intoxication (carbon monoxide poisoning),' Ontario Provincial Police said this week. Renaud was found at the residence around 8 p.m. May 23 and was rushed to hospital, where he was pronounced dead. OPP took over the case The post-mortem was conducted by the Ontario Forensic Pathology Service. The OPP assumed responsibility for the investigation on June 18 at the request of the Greater Sudbury Police Service. Sudbury police asked the OPP to take over the case after questions emerged about the conduct of two off-duty officers the day Renaud died. A chief's complaint has been initiated by Chief Sara Cunningham about the conduct of the off-duty police officers. Both officers have been suspended with pay while their conduct is being investigated. The OPP was asked to take over the case because 'it was determined that there is an institutional conflict of interest,' Sudbury police said in June. 'The investigation remains ongoing under the direction of the OPP criminal investigation branch,' the OPP said. Anyone with information regarding the investigation is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) or online.
