Story summary

On October 20, 2026, Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a 29-year-old woman from Toronto, died after falling from her High Park apartment balcony during a police call. Her death raised concerns about how officers handle mental health and epilepsy cases. At the coroner’s inquest on October 22, Korchinski-Paquet's mother Claudette Beals testified that she saw police officers push her daughter towards the balcony, leading to a recess due to new allegations against the officers involved. The two responding constables, Adam Vandenbrink and Shane Beaudoin, had previously testified that Korchinski-Paquet walked to the balcony herself. The inquest is set to resume on October 23 after being adjourned early on the previous day due to these new allegations.
