Family of woman who fell from balcony to her death completes interviews with SIU

TORONTO — The family of a Toronto woman who died after falling from a balcony while police were in her apartment says the interview process with the province's police watchdog is complete.

The legal team representing the family of Regis Korchinski-Paquet says the Special Investigations Unit is now in the closing stages of its investigation.

The family's counsel says a second autopsy is currently being conducted outside Ontario.

Korchinski-Paquet's relatives want answers to what they believe are shortcomings in the SIU process.

They say those issues will come to light when the findings of the investigation are made public.

A statement from the family's lawyer says another march and memorial for Korchinski-Paquet is being planned for July 25 in Toronto.
