The BC Coroners Service is investigating a death in a work place in Duncan on Oct. 28.
The death occurred at approximately 11:30 a.m. last Thursday at the Eagle Auto Wrecking site on Boys Road.
Eagle Auto Wrecking said out of respect for the family of the individual who died, they are not making a statement at this time, though they did say the accident did not have anything to do with work being done by the business, instead with work being done at the site by a third party.
Ryan Panton, manager of strategic communications and media relations for the BC Coroners Service, said as the coroner’s investigation is open, he is unable to provide any additional information at this time.
