TORONTO - A coroner's inquest is planned in the death of a 50-year-old Toronto man who died as a result of a police shooting two years ago.
The coroner's office says an inquest into the April 2013 death of Donald Thompson is mandatory under the Coroner's Act.
It says the inquest will examine the events surrounding Thompson's death and may lead to recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths.
The inquest is scheduled to begin Monday and last two weeks, with roughly 20 witnesses to be heard.
