The provincial agency that investigates police-involved deaths and injuries says a man died in Coquitlam, B.C., early Sunday morning after he fell from an upper-floor balcony shortly after officers arrived at his home. The Independent Investigations Office of British Columbia (IIO B.C.) said RCMP officers went to a residential building in the 1100-block of Heffley Crescent around 3:20 a.m. PT for a disturbance. Police said when officers arrived at the door to a home in the building, a man pushed it back before running to a patio. Officers reported they didn't see the man on the patio, says IIO B.C., but they spotted him below when they looked over the railing.
