No charges will be laid against officers involved in an in-custody death earlier this year in the Northern Parkland.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba says back in January, RCMP officers from several Parkland detachments joined forces to conduct a search for a man reported missing near Madge Lake.
The male was found in the brush, and was not properly dressed for the conditions.
While originally breathing and having a pulse when was initially taken into custody, he no longer had a pulse by time he arrived to a police cruiser.
CPR was performed on him and he was taken to hospital in Swan River, where he passed away the next morning.
The IIU determined that the officers' main objective was to locate the man for his own well-being, and have therefore closed the investigation
