Ontario's Special Investigations Unit has cleared two police officers in the death of a 57-year-old man in St. Catharines.

The S-I-U says the man died in hospital in May 2023 days after a medical event that began while he was on the ground and struggling against being handcuffed.

The S-I-U found the Niagara Region Police Service officers used reasonable force, and believing that he had consumed drugs, they performed C-P-R and administered naloxone after he became unresponsive.

It says there is no reasonable grounds to believe they committed a criminal offence.
