Days after Ontario’s police watchdog
released a report concluding a man Tasered multiple times by Toronto police
died of acute cocaine toxicity, his family is demanding a more in-depth
examination of his cause of death and greater detail about his clash with
officers.
Rodrigo Almonacid Gonzalez, 43, died
Nov. 7, 2015, one day after an interaction with Toronto police that ended with
two officers deploying their conducted energy weapons, better known as Tasers,
eight times while Gonzalez was in the bathtub in his family’s west-end
apartment.
Last week, Ontario’s Special
Investigations Unit cleared the officers involved in Gonzalez’
death, saying there was no evidence of excessive force by the police
While SIU director Tony Loparco said he was initially alarmed by the
multiple and overlapping Taser discharges, a forensic pathologist found
Gonzalez died of complications of acute cocaine toxicity, a conclusion based on
a cardiological examination and a toxicological analysis.
“The post-mortem report did not indicate that (Taser)
discharges played any role in the death,” Loparco said.
Gonzalez’s wife and mother say the slight, otherwise
healthy father of two should not have died that night, and want more
information to be released about the cause of death.
“The family wants a coroner’s inquest. They want an
investigation into the cause of death, they don’t accept the SIU’s opinion and
conclusions that it was cocaine toxicity,” said Kevin Wolf, the Gonzalez family
lawyer.
