SIU investigating after man found dead inside Scarborough home

Ontario’s police watchdog is investigating the death of a 53-year-old Scarborough man.

The Special Investigations Unit says that around 11:30 p.m. on February 28, Toronto police were called to a home in the Ellesmere Road and Bellamy Road area following reports of a domestic dispute.

The agency says attempts were made to communicate with a man inside the home, which were all unsuccessful.

Early Saturday morning, police deployed a drone into the residence, which located the man dead.

The SIU says an investigation team has been assigned to the case, and an autopsy is scheduled for Sunday in Toronto.
