Classes cancelled as SIU investigates death at U of T Mississauga
The University of Toronto cancelled classes at its Mississauga campus Tuesday after a 19-year-old man was found dead in a residence following a police response Monday night.
The University of Toronto's Mississauga campus suspended classes on Tuesday due to a student's death, following a police investigation. The 19-year-old victim was found deceased inside his residence, having suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Peel Regional Police officers responded to a report of a man assaulting a woman in Brampton around 9 p.m. Monday, eventually locating the suspect at a student residence near Dundas Street West and Mississauga Road.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) was notified due to the police involvement and has since launched an investigation. The university's decision to cancel classes was made out of compassion for the over 2,000 students affected by the incident.
