Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-PCI-477
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU , including interviews with the Complainant and police and non-police witnesses, and video footage that captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. As was his legal right, the SO chose not to interview with the SIU or authorize the release of his notes. In the morning of November 24, 2025, OPP received a call from hospital security reporting that a patient who had been discharged and escorted out of the hospital – the Complainant – was in the parking lot, refusing to leave. The SO and WO #1 of the Central Region Emergency Response Team were dispatched. Upon arrival, the officers spoke with security and confirmed the information provided in the call. Security advised that the Complainant had been discharged and provided with medication but refused to leave the hospital. They had to physically escort him out of the building; however, he still would not leave the property and wanted to return to the hospital. He was trespassed. Hospital staff did not want him back inside and wanted him removed. The briefing did not include information indicating that the Complainant, had a particular medical condition. The SO approached the Complainant and informed him that he was required to leave the premises. The Complainant stated that he wanted to return to the hospital because he was in pain. He was advised that he could seek care at another hospital, that he had been trespassed from this one, and that he must either leave or be arrested and removed from the premises. During the conversation, the Complainant moved away from the vehicle where he had been standing and proceeded in the direction of the hospital doors. As he walked past, the SO asked where he was going and took hold of his arm. As the SO began to turn him around, an audible cracking sound was heard and the arm appeared to rotate in an abnormal manner consistent with having snapped. The Complainant was permitted to re-enter the hospital so that his injury could be addressed. He was diagnosed with, and subsequently treated for, a comminuted and displaced fracture of the left distal humerus.
