Hundreds of protesters in downtown Toronto on Monday marked nearly one year since Regis Korchinski-Paquet fell to her death from a 24th floor apartment balcony last spring while police were in her home. Speakers at a news conference denounced Ontario's Special Investigations Unit for clearing five police officers of wrongdoing in her death. Jason Bogle, a lawyer for the family of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, told people at the memorial that the family alleges there was police misconduct. Regis Korchinski-Paquet, 29, died on the evening of May 27, 2020 after falling from the balcony of her apartment. Korchinski-Paquet died minutes after officers arrived at her apartment that night.
