A worker, believed to be in his early 40s, has died
following an industrial accident at a construction site in Toronto's Financial District.
The incident occurred shortly after 11 a.m. at 100 Adelaide
St., between York and Bay streets.
Police say the man fell from the third floor of a building
that is currently under construction and was pronounced dead at the scene after
efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful.
Police would not say whether the man was wearing proper
safety equipment.
"The Ministry of Labour is on scene right now, they are
conducting their investigation," Sgt. Kevin Hamilton told CP24.
In a statement issued Thursday afternoon, PCL, the
construction company in charge of the Adelaide Street project, said they are
"fully cooperating" with the investigation into the incident.
"We extend our deepest condolences to his family and
friends for their loss," the statement said.
"All appropriate authorities have been contacted,
including the Ministry of Labour, and the incident is under
investigation."
The victim has not yet been identified.
