Quebec's police watchdog is investigating after a man died during a police intervention in downtown Montreal Saturday night. According to the Bureau of Independent Investigations (BEI), Montreal police were called to a hotel on Sherbrooke Street for a domestic dispute at around 10:40 p.m. Saturday. Police reported that the 51-year-old man started to run once officers arrived, the BEI said. Police say the man then threw his bag to the ground and told them he was armed. They have called in a forensic expert with the provincial police force to help with the investigation.
