flag No charges after Nova Scotia man died post-Taser use; watchdog finds force justified.

flag Nova Scotia’s police watchdog, SIRT, has found no evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the February 2025 death of a 37-year-old man in Bedford, where Halifax Regional Police subdued him after he acted erratically and was reportedly under the influence of cocaine. flag Officers used a Taser and physical restraint, requiring seven officers to subdue him. flag He stopped breathing shortly after being cuffed and died in the hospital. flag An autopsy cited pre-existing heart disease, cocaine use, and physical exertion as contributing factors. flag SIRT concluded the officers’ use of force was reasonable and no charges will be filed.
