RCMP officers at Vancouver airport discharged a Taser five times while restraining Robert Dziekanski on Oct. 14, 2007.
(Paul Pritchard)The final report into the death of Robert Dziekanski at Vancouver International Airport will be officially released Friday morning, Commissioner Thomas Braidwood has announced.
It will be the second of two reports released by the Braidwood Commission. The first, which was released a year ago, focused on the use of Tasers and other conducted energy weapons by police.
The new report will look at the events leading up to the death of Dziekanski. The Polish immigrant died in the airport's international arrivals lounge after he was stunned five times with a Taser by RCMP officers.
In April, the RCMP apologized to Dziekanski's mother Zopfia Cisowski and agreed to an undisclosed out-of-court settlement.
