Investigation underway into man’s death in Lethbridge

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) says it is looking into the circumstances that led to the death of a 59-year-old man.
On March 24, 2025, the Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) responded to a report of an unwanted person at a home on the south side.
Police say the man appeared agitated and was acting erratically.
The attending officers physically restrained the man and placed him into a police cruiser. Shortly afterward, LPS says the man went into medical distress and became unresponsive while police were still on scene.
