Police tape demarking a crime scene.JOHN LEHMANN

Ontario's police watchdog says it's investigating the circumstances that led to a 22-year-old woman falling to her death in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon.

The Special Investigations Unit says Toronto police officers went to an apartment building (at 330 Dixon Road) to speak with a woman on the 25th floor.

The SIU says at some point, the woman fell from the apartment unit to the ground.

She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The SIU is an arm's length agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.
