Man killed by train

There’s the air of something not being told in these accounts: a man, visibly drunk, is questioned briefly by police in Pointe Claire on Friday night, then walks away. Twenty minutes later, he’s struck by a train and dies. The location of the conversation and the incident are not being disclosed. But why is the BEI investigating, which they normally only do when police are directly involved in a fatality? Is it just that the man should’ve been taken to the drunk tank for his own protection, rather than let loose to fall into danger?

Update: Sunday, the locations of the police interaction with the man and of the fatal accident are still not being mentioned, but at the same time, the BEI is asking any witnesses to speak up.
