According to the family, there was a lack of news coverage as Regis’ laid on the ground for more than an hour. The case is being handled by the Special Investigations Unit since Toronto Police refuse to release a statement.
‘The SIU is aware of allegations made by certain family members of the deceased and will be looking to speak to anyone with information about these allegations. As the investigation is in the early stages, it would be inappropriate for the SIU to make any further comment at this time with respect to what transpired.’
