December 1, 2008

An investigation is underway following the death of a 43-year-old man who was pepper-sprayed by RCMP in The Pas, Man.

The man died Saturday afternoon, a day after officers had removed him from his ex-wife's home in The Pas, about 600 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.

Police were called to the home Friday morning when the man was allegedly intoxicated and had become violent.

Officers managed to arrest him, but police say he became combative.

RCMP spokesman Sgt. Line Karpish said there was a struggle, and police used pepper spray against him.
