A man who was arrested for impaired driving on Monday went into “medical distress” and died shortly after he was forcibly removed from his vehicle during an arrest by Saskatchewan RCMP officers.

Police said the officers responding to the call found the 58-year-old man sitting in his vehicle. He was arrested for impaired driving, but police said he “refused to exit the vehicle and was subsequently removed from his vehicle by officers and escorted to the police vehicle.”
The man went into “medical distress” while he was sitting in the RCMP vehicle, police said. Officers provided CPR and called for paramedics, according to police, but despite those efforts, the driver was declared dead.
The RCMP said the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team – a provincial police watchdog agency mandated to investigate cases where a person dies in police custody or as a result of the actions of police – has been notified of the man’s death, and will conduct an investigation.
