WINDSOR -- The death of a worker at the Windsor Assembly Plant is being investigated by the Ministry of Labour.
Ministry Spokesperson Janet Deline confirmed the death and tells CTV News the ministry was notified about the incident on Monday.
“It was reported a worker was found unconscious while sitting at a workstation,” said Deline in an email.
The MOL is trying to determine if the incident was related to the workplace.
Deline says a ministry inspector was assigned and attended the scene.
“We are still waiting to determine if this incident is work related,” says Deline.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles spokesperson LouAnn Gosselin says it does not appear to be related to the job.
"A Windsor Assembly Plant employee was found unresponsive in their workstation yesterday as a result of an apparent non-occupational incident,” says Gosselin. “We are fully cooperating with the Ministry of Labour in its investigation.”
Gosselin says grief counselling is being offered to employees on all three shifts.
“Our thoughts and prayers go out to our employee's family and friends during this difficult time,"says Gosselin.
