RCMP apologizes for ‘grossly inadequate’ investigation into N.S. workplace drowning

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have formally apologized for what an oversight agency described as a "grossly inadequate" investigation. The apology relates to the October 2020 workplace death of a man in Nova Scotia.

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP revealed the apology following its review of the Mounties' initial handling of the fatality. The incident occurred at a Nova Scotia workplace, though specific details of the accident or the victim's identity were not provided in the available reporting.
