The family of an eastern Ontario man shot and killed by an OPP officer is calling for a coroner's inquest into his death. After investigating the incident, the province's police watchdog concluded there were no reasonable grounds to lay criminal charges against the officer who shot Saidi. According to the SIU report, Saidi died less than two minutes after entering the detachment, when he was informed he was being arrested on new criminal charges. Video footage inconclusiveElly Saidi said the SIU has allowed the family to view video footage captured by the detachment's interior and exterior cameras the day of her brother's death. Babak Saidi's family says he struggled with mental health issues before his death at the OPP detachment in Morrisburg, Ont., on Dec. 23, 2017.
