Master Cpl. Denis Demers takes own life 2 weeks after standoff
A Canadian soldier involved in a 40-hour standoff with police in late August committed suicide last week, CBC News has learned.
Master Cpl. Denis Demers, 44, was a medical technician working with 2 Field Ambulance. He joined the Canadian Armed Forces in 2002 and was sent on tours to Afghanistan in 2008 and 2010, according to the Department of National Defence.
His body was found in Petawawa, Ont., near Barron Canyon Road — not far from his home on Labine Crescent — on Sept. 12 at about 7:30 p.m., OPP said.
Foul play is not suspected and the coroner's office is now investigating, OPP said.
It comes about two weeks after Demers was involved in a long standoff with police at his home.
