The Ministry of Labour is investigating after a workplace fatality occurred in West Grey Wednesday.
Emergency services responded to a call around noon along Grey Road 4 in Durham.
According to West Grey Police, a worker was electrocuted when a boom lift came into contact with a hydro wire. The identity of the deceased was not shared.
As a result, power was knocked out for much of West Grey for a few hours, but has since been restored.
Police say they can't share any more information as the matter is under ministry investigation.
CKNX has reached out the Ministry of Labour for comment.
