The family of a Toronto-area man, who fell to his death after police were called to his apartment, are blaming officers for their loved one's death.

At an event on Thursday, at the location where Taresh Bobby Ramroop died, his family said he needed medical attention, not a police response on Oct. 13 when he fell.

A statement issued on behalf of the family alleged that “police staged an hours-long standoff, which ended after Taresh tried to escape from a window in his Jane/Finch highrise apartment and fell to his death.”

Toronto police deny that was how things played out. “At no time was there any confrontation, a ‘stand-off’ or physical contact between the officers and the man,” the force said.

The incident has renewed demands for mental health services to be provided in some cases, instead of police.

Global's Catherine McDonald has more on this story.
