Cause of Big River mill worker’s death remains unknown

Almost one week after a fatal accident at the Big River lumber mill, there are no clear answers as to what exactly happened.

A spokesperson for Occupational Health and Safety said the investigation could take three to six months.

A 31-year-old man was injured last Tuesday while doing some equipment maintenance work. He died before paramedics arrived.

RCMP have not released the man’s name. He was married with children and was from the Shellbrook area.
