RCMP and Manitoba Workplace Health and Safety are investigating the death. 

RCMP also responded to a farming death in June, when a 68-year-old man became entangled with machinery at a commercial farming business.

Other workplace deaths in Manitoba this year include a man who was hit by a felled tree, a man who fell while roofing, a man whose equipment fell into a hole on a construction site and a man who died after being pulled into machinery at a factory.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 18, 2026.
