“It is with heavy hearts and great sadness we are reporting the death of a Manitoba Hydro employee at one of our work sites this morning in the Interlake,” Hydro said in a news release Thursday.
Hydro said the individual was performing work related to a power outage and that the cause of the fatality is under
investigation, but there is no risk to public safety.
“Our deepest sympathies go out to the individual’s loved ones, friends and coworkers,” Manitoba Hydro President and CEO Allan Danroth said. “We are devastated to lose a member of our Manitoba Hydro family. The safety of our employees and customers is our top priority and we are committed to fully investigating the cause of this tragedy.”
Hydro said it will not be releasing the deceased employee’s name while it supports the family and respects their
privacy.
