Date set for coroner’s inquest into 2020 death of Toronto woman that led to protests

A coroner's inquest has been scheduled to examine the 2020 death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a Toronto woman who fell from a highrise balcony while police were inside her home. The proceedings are set to begin on October 13, with Dr. David Cameron serving as the presiding officer, and are expected to last for 14 days.

The death of Korchinski-Paquet in 2020 prompted significant public demonstrations in Toronto. The upcoming inquest will review the circumstances surrounding the incident more than six years after the event occurred, providing a formal public inquiry into the tragedy.
