The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba has completed its review of the death of an adult male following an interaction with RCMP officers from Ste Rose.
The interaction began on December 30th, 2022, when Mounties were alerted about an alleged home invasion and vehicle theft in Rorketon.
The vehicle was found in a ditch near Crane River with four people trying to dig it out.
Three of the suspects were arrested, and the fourth escaped into the woods.
A few days later, police received a missing person's report for the fourth individual and returned to the wooded area, where his body was located.
An autopsy determined that he cause of death was hypothermia, and following more investigation and consultation, the IIU decided no charges would be laid against the officers and no further action would be taken.
