Excited delirium

Canada -- Three London police officers have been cleared of wrongdoing in the death of a promising martial arts expert whose organs failed a week after his arrest.

The Special Investigations Unit, Ontario's police watchdog, was called after Mitchell Koh, 34, died eight days after being arrested by police Sept. 12 and subsequently being admitted to hospital for doing drugs.

An inquest may be held to determine exactly how Koh died, an SIU spokesperson said yesterday, but that could not be confirmed at press time.

The SIU report says two police officers went to a Southdale Road convenience store about 6 a.m. on Sept. 12 after a report of a man waving a stick and two knives inside.
