On October 9, 2009, shortly before 7pm, The Pas RCMP Detachment were dispatched to a local tow truck company in the Pas and were advised that the owner-operator had been found by family members, deceased.

RCMP attended and found the 49-year-old local tow truck owner-operator deceased. While the matter remains in the early stages of the investigation, it is believed that he became pinned between the flat bed tow truck and the vehicle he was unloading back at the tow company yard. 

Workplace Safety and Health has been contacted and will be investigating jointly with the RCMP.

No foul play is suspected and an autopsy has been ordered.
