Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills Development is investigating after a worker was found dead in a Cambridge grocery store.
In an emailed statement to CBC News, the ministry said a body was found inside a walk-in freezer at the Cambridge Centre Zehrs, a Loblaw grocery store, on the corner of Conestoga Boulevard and Dunbar Road.
Waterloo Regional police said in an email to CBC News they were called to the store after the body of a male was found.
While police aren’t investigating due to a lack of suspicious circumstances, Ontario’s Ministry of Labour has assigned an inspector to the case.
Loblaw public relations said “tragically one of our colleagues passed away while at the store,” in an email to CBC News, adding that “out of respect for the family we will not provide any further information.”
A post to the Zehrs location’s Facebook page said that “due to unforeseen circumstances our store will be closed for today [Tuesday].”
The ministry’s investigation is still ongoing.
