No criminal charges will be laid against Barrie police officers after a woman fell from an apartment balcony and died at the end of March, Ontario’s police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit, says.

On March 25, two officers with the Barrie Police Service attended a 10th-floor apartment in a local building to check on the well-being of a 79-year-old woman.

The officers knocked on the woman’s door, said who they were and indicated that they were there to make sure the woman was doing OK, according to the SIU.

The officers didn’t receive a response, and when one of the officers went to the main floor to get a key to the woman’s unit, he found out that the woman was lying on the ground by the back of the building.
