EDMONTON - City police are keeping tight-lipped about the cause of death of a man who died, last week, while in their custody.
The autopsy of the 39-year-old man wrapped up today.
Police say he died "while being subdued after falling off a roof".
Around 4:00pm Friday, officers say they responded to a report of a fight, between a man & a woman, at a house on 35th Street and 22nd Avenue.
By the time police arrived, the man involved was found naked on his neighbours roof.
He then tried to jump from one house to another ... but missed and fell about 20 feet to the ground.
An officer approached the still-conscious suspect and got one handcuff attached, when he reportedly started to put up a fight.
A couple of witnessess helped the officer restrain the guy and get the 'cuffs on.
At that point, police say the man's heart stopped beating and the arresting officer administered CPR, but to no avail.
