BRANTFORD - The Special Investigations Unit is investigating the circumstances surrounding a death in Brantford on Sunday. 

David Thomson died last night inside a hotel room at the Days Inn on Fairway Drive. Police were called to the hotel just before 11:00 p.m last night. Mr. Thomson was considered to be a person of interest in connection with the deaths of two people in Hamilton. 

While officers were outside the hotel, they could hear a gun shot coming from inside a room on the first floor. When they entered the room, they found Thomson on the floor, deceased. 

Two investigators and two forensic investigators have been assigned to this incident. A post-mortem will take place tomorrow morning in Hamilton.

Under the Police Services Act, the Director of the SIU must consider whether an officer has committed a criminal offence  in connection with the incident under investigation depending on the evidence, lay a criminal charge against the officer if appropriate or close the file without any charges being laid report the results of any investigations to the Attorney General.
