The Fredericton Police Force says a former police officer who was facing criminal charges has died.
Police say they weren’t able to provide any details about the death of Andrew Savoy, an ex-constable, out of respect for his family.
Savoy was charged Tuesday with perjury, uttering forged documents and breach of trust.
Fredericton police say they found inconsistencies in Savoy’s police files during an internal audit.

Savoy is alleged to have committed the crimes between 2023 and January 2026, while he was employed with Fredericton police.
He was scheduled to appear in court in August.
