Substation death not workplace-related
MONTAGUE, PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND - The death of a man at an electrical substation in eastern Prince Edward Island was not a workplace accident, says Maritime Electric.
An investigation is underway into the sudden death of a man working at a Maritime Electric substation in Montague. Spokeswoman Kim Griffin told CBC News the subcontractor was working at the Victoria Cross substation.

"From what we understand it was a health-related issue and the man was not electrocuted."
Griffin said the man was working on one of the buildings on the substation property, not with electrical equipment.
