Investigation Underway After Teen Falls from Mississauga Mall Garage

A tragic incident occurred on November 15, 2025, when an 18-year-old boy fell to his death from a parking garage at the Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga, Ontario. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which oversees police conduct in the province, has launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fall.

According to Peel Regional Police, a call was made to report a man in distress shortly before the incident. Officers arrived at the scene at approximately 14:20, finding the young man in the parking garage. Shortly after their arrival, he fell from the structure to the ground below.

Emergency services responded promptly, providing care to the victim. Despite their efforts, the 18-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. The SIU was notified and has invoked its mandate to investigate, as there was an officer present during the incident.

On November 16, an autopsy was conducted, although the results have not been disclosed. The SIU has assigned two investigators, one forensic investigator, and one subject official to this case. The agency is actively seeking witnesses who may have information or video footage related to the incident.

This tragic event has raised questions about safety in public spaces, particularly in busy shopping areas. The Square One Shopping Centre is one of the largest malls in Canada and attracts thousands of visitors each day. The SIU’s investigation aims to ascertain the events leading up to this unfortunate incident, ensuring accountability and transparency in the process.

As the investigation unfolds, the community is encouraged to come forward with any relevant information. This incident serves as a somber reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and the need for supportive resources in public environments.
