Ontario's police watchdog says there is no evidence that any of the six Toronto police officers in a woman's apartment when she fell to her death committed a crime.

29 year old Regis Korchinski-Paquet fell from a balcony in May.

The Special Investigations Unit interviewed all six officers, along with 15 civilian witnesses and received a written statement from Korchinski-Paquet's father.

She was on the phone with him at the time.
