An employee from Manitoba Hydro died Thursday morning at one of the corporation's work sites in the Interlake region.
The employee, who will not be named, was performing work related to a power outage when the incident happened. Authorities are investigating how the worker died, but the Crown Utilities Corporation said no other employee was injured and there is no risk to public safety.
In a release, Manitoba Hydro said.
"Our deepest sympathies go out to the individual's loved ones, friends and coworkers," Manitoba Hydro said in a news release Thursday. "We are devastated to lose a member of our Manitoba Hydro family."
Manitoba Hydro is fully cooperating with the investigation.
