Calgary police not investigating death in Pond Inlet, Nunavut, but will review RCMP's investigation
Social Sharing
The Calgary Police Service says it is not investigating the Nunavut RCMP over a death Pond Inlet earlier this month.
That's after the RCMP originally told CBC News that Calgary police would investigate after a man died during an interaction with police on May 4.
In an email, a spokesperson for the Calgary police said they cannot conduct the investigation.
"We can confirm that due to capacity restraints, the Calgary Police Service will not be investigating the incident that occurred in Pond Inlet on May 4, 2025. However, the [Calgary Police Service] will conduct a case review once the RCMP investigation is finalized," wrote Amy Castonguay, a spokesperson for the Calgary Police Service.
The Nunavut RCMP has an agreement with Ottawa and Calgary police to investigate circumstances where people die in police custody.
When asked, Nunavut RCMP would not comment further on the investigation, but said once an external investigator is available they will conduct an investigation if they determine it's necessary.

Montreal billionaire Robert Miller too sick for trial on sex charges, judge says
A Quebec Superior Court judge has stayed criminal charges against Montreal billionaire Robert Miller. The Crown agreed on Monday to a motion by the defence that Miller, who is suffering from Parkinson's disease, is too ill to stand trial on 24 sex-related charges. The founder of global electronics distributor Future Electronics was initially arrested in May 2024 on 21 sex charges involving 10 complainants. In December, three new charges were filed by the Crown for crimes alleged to have taken place between 1995 and 2000. Many of the complainants were minors when the alleged offences occurred. Miller's lawyers had sought a stay of proceedings in April, arguing their 81-year-old client was not well enough to stand trial.

Toronto police have identified the second suspect accused of drugging a man and then stealing his belongings from his downtown residence last month. Police say they continue to search for 19-year-old Sarah Kehttab, who is wanted in connection with a robbery that occurred at a residence near Front Street West and John Street on May 17. The victim contacted the suspect via a classified ads website. Police said two women went to the man's residence. 'The victim ingested an unknown substance which was given to him by one of the suspects,' police allege. When he lost consciousness, the suspects allegedly stole his personal belongings and fled. One suspect, identified as Natalia Lis Pardinas Da-Hora, was arrested and charged on May 28. In a news release on Tuesday, police released a photo of Kehttab, who is wanted for robbery, possession of a Schedule I substance for trafficking and administering a noxious thing/intent to endanger life.
