A 63-year-old man was found lifeless Monday evening in a wooded area in Saint-Côme-Linière, in Chaudière-Appalaches.

The man’s lifeless body was found under an excavator around 7:15 p.m.

The criminal theory is not considered by the authorities according to Béatrice d’Orsainville, spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec, because everything suggests that it was a work accident.

An investigation was opened by the Commission for Standards, Equity, Health and Safety at Work (CNESST).
