Toronto Police Cleared in New Year's Eve Death

A 27-year-old man fell from an apartment balcony near Jane Street and Wilson Avenue, dying right there on the scene. The Special Investigations Unit announced Friday that officers did nothing criminal. The call came from a woman, relaying a report of an assault inside the apartment. A female witness had run out and dialed for help from a neighbor's place. Cobb showed up, tried talking to the guy through the door, and were waiting on a master key from the landlord. The man had been drinking heavily and using drugs that night, which played into what went down.
