Alberta police officers have been cleared of wrongdoing in the 2022 death of Addison Hartzler, who died in an RCMP holding cell. Hartzler, 30, collapsed in his cell and was not discovered for hours. An autopsy determined he died of a cocaine overdose, but investigators could not confirm if immediate intervention would have saved him. His family is calling for an independent review of the case and the Crown's decision not to pursue charges, citing inadequate monitoring and potential medical negligence.
