Ontario's police watchdog has cleared an Ottawa police officer of wrongdoing after a man fell into medical distress due to an insulin overdose while in the cellblock at the Elgin Street headquarters.
At about 10:30 p.m., the man asked to take his insulin and was escorted to the special constable's desk at the station and allowed to self-administer the medication.
