The B.C. Independent Investigations Office says it is investigating the death of a man while in Smithers RCMP detachment cells.
In a statement, the civilian-based police watchdog said a guard found the man in distress on Sunday night and was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.
In a separate statement, Smithers RCMP said the man was suffering from self-inflicted wounds.
The man had been arrested last Thursday and was scheduled to appear in court today. His name and reason for his arrest were not provided.
"The IIO was notified of the death shortly after it occurred and has commenced an investigation," the IIO said.
