Roch Renaud was 'fatally injured while performing maintenance work'
The Ontario Ministry of Labour has launched an investigation into the death of a 19-year-old worker last month.
On May 23, Roch (Rocco) Renaud “was located unconscious and with no vital signs at an address in Lively” around 8 p.m., according to Greater Sudbury Police, as reported by CBC.
A preliminary report submitted to the ministry stated that the worker was “fatally injured while performing maintenance work.” Ministry inspectors subsequently attended the scene.
Renaud was transported to hospital by Sudbury Paramedic Services, where he was pronounced dead.
Detectives from the Major Crime Section are now investigating the incident in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and the Office of the Chief Coroner.
“As the cause of death is determined by the Coroner, and the Coroner’s investigation is ongoing, we do not have a confirmed cause of death at this time,” police told CBC.
No further details are available at the time of writing.
Meanwhile, in a Facebook post, M.I.C. Canadian Eatery & Whisky Pub - Sudbury, paid tribute to Renaud.
“In loving memory of Rocco Renaud - a brilliant young man who has had a huge impact on the lives of so many. May his spirit live on in the choices of his peers,” they said, posting a photo of the worker.
