MISSISSAUGA – Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating after a 26-year-old man fell to his death in Mississauga this morning.

Peel Regional Police were first alerted to an incident at 6:52 a.m., when a call indicated reports of a suicidal male on the roof of 208 Enfield Place, an apartment building in the area of Hurontario Street and Burnhamthorpe Road West.

Police responded and, according to SIU, made their way to the roof with a building security guard.

SIU reports a short time later the man fell from the 41st floor to a patio on the seventh floor.

Const. Lilly Fitzpatrick of the Peel police said SIU were then notified of the incident, and they have invoked their mandate.

The SIU is an arm’s length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.

According to SIU, five investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to probe the circumstances around the man’s death.

Fitzpatrick said Peel Regional Police will be conducting their own parallel investigation, but this incident is believed to be an isolated case.

Anyone with information or who may have witnessed this incident is asked to contact the lead SIU investigator at 416-622-1988 or 1-800-787-8529 extension 1988.
