Police watchdog investigating death

B.C.’s police oversight body has launched an investigation into an incident in Kelowna where one man died.

The Independent Investigations Office of B.C.(IIO) reported the Kelowna RCMP stated an officer responded to a well being check made by a third party at a residential address in the 1900-block of Enterprise Way at approximately 10 a.m. on Jan. 10.

The officer was reportedly not able to make contact with the subject, with the IIO saying a man was found deceased inside the same residence for what appeared to be natural causes later that same morning.

The IIO was notified of the incident and launched an investigation Monday, Feb. 5.

Anyone with information relating to the case is asked to contact the IIO Witness Line at 1-855-446-8477 or fill out the online contact form.
