Nova Scotia's police watchdog is investigating the death of a man who fell from a balcony in Halifax this morning.

Halifax Regional Police say they were called to an apartment building on Carrington Place in Clayton Park around 6:30 a.m. after reports of a disturbance between a man and woman who knew each other.

The Nova Scotia Serious Incident Response Team said in a news release that police noticed the man was on the balcony when they entered the apartment.

The release said he went over the balcony, falling to the ground below, a short time later.

Police tried to help the man, but he died at the scene.

The Serious Incident Response Team investigates all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia.

Trump ally Steve Bannon loses appeal of conviction for defying Jan. 6 probe
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. federal appeals court on Friday upheld the conviction of Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to former President Donald Trump, for defying a subpoena from the congressional panel that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. The ruling brings Bannon a step closer to serving a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress, but he can still mount additional appeals. Bannon was convicted in 2022 of two misdemeanor counts of contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over documents or testify to the House of Representatives committee that investigated the Capitol riot.
