The incident happened on Feb 29th and the autopsy has confirmed, charges have now been brought.

"It is a tragic day for everyone involved when there is an in-custody death or a death as a result of a police apprehension," he said. "Once we learned of the findings in the Medical Investigator's report, we felt in necessary to immediate initiate termination proceedings."

The post added that no further comment could be provided because of pending litigation.
