Regis Korchinski-Paquet's family filed $ 10 million in civil lawsuit against police

The family Regis Korchinski-Paquet answered the question.

After police were called to Hyperk's residence on May 27, 2020, Kortinsky-Pake fell off the balcony and died.

The dead woman, her mother, and her siblings all called 911 because of a family conflict.

There was confusion and contradictory stories about the death of a woman in Toronto for several reasons from the beginning. In particular, it happened just a few days after the murder of George Floyd. , And in the midst of an indignation demonstration against the police.

A special investigation unit was called in, but the police guard dog eventually found that there was no reason to prosecute the police officers involved.

Currently, the family has filed civil suits against the SIU chief and police officers, the state attorney general, the city of Toronto, and the Toronto community. housing.

In a $ 10 million proceeding, Korchinski-Paquet's relatives were given misunderstanding information at the time of her death, resulting in her seriousness. Claims to have suffered a great deal of mental distress.

Also, police officers are alleged to have deliberately misunderstood both the SIU investigation and another investigation conducted by the Independent Police Examination Authority.

The video excerpt shows an officer identified as Glen Weddel arriving at the scene with a rifle. As he walks from the elevator to the door of the apartment, he puts on a holster across the crossbody of his gun and his back.

Upon arriving at the unit door, he grabs the Korchinski-Paquet and appears to have placed her on her ground.

Shortly thereafter, Korchinski-Paquet returns to his apartment.

A video of a policeman leaving the apartment and returning to the elevator was displayed. Weddel officer's rifle is not in the same position as before. 

Police notes about the incident confirm that Weddel removed the firearm while in the apartment.

Bogle believes the information was excluded from the report by SIU Director Joseph Martino.

"Martino omitted the details. He knew it was inflammatory. Why is there a shotgun in the wellness call?" Bogle asked in a brief interview on Friday.

Korchinski-Paquet is known to be afraid of her height, and Bogle states that "she had no suicidal ideation."

One of the mysteries about Korchinski-Paquet's death is why she went to the balcony. If the policeman got rid of his anger, Bogle probably said, "Her reaction was based on fear."

He believes it makes more sense than the reasons given. It means that Korchinski-Paquet was in some kind of post-epileptic shock.

Bogle said on Friday that civilian witnesses contacted him with evidence of interest in mobile phones.

As police notes confirm, Korchinski-Paquet was on her cell phone while the police were there. But her cell phone has never been found.

"Why does a woman with suicidal ideation go out on the balcony? She suddenly decides to go out and start climbing. "Bogle asked.

"That makes sense. Was she manic? Was she scared? How far was she from the officer? What did she say?

In the statement of claim, Bogle claims the existence of a weapon (and lack of police deescalation action) Death of Korchinski-Paquet.

The family had to hire a private detective to review the case and try to find answers to many of their questions.

"Something is wrong here," Bogle said. "No one will be held liable."

No one would say "I did something wrong here."
