"The police killed my daughter, came into my apartment and shoved her off the balcony,” said Claudette Beals Clayton, Korchinski-Paquet's mother, expressing her belief about the incident."
"The provincial Special Investigations Unit (SIU) previously cleared the officers involved, stating that while police efforts to de-escalate the situation were unsuccessful, none of the officers broke the law."
"Inquests are held at the discretion of the coroner if they determine that proceedings would assist with a more accurate determination about a death and if it is desirable for the public to have an open hearing."
The Ontario government will conduct an inquest into the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, who fell from a 24th-floor balcony in 2020. The inquest aims to examine the circumstances surrounding her death. Korchinski-Paquet's mother alleged that police pushed her daughter off the balcony. The Special Investigations Unit previously cleared the officers involved, stating they did not break the law. Inquests are held to determine the facts of a death and can provide recommendations, though these are not legally binding.
