WorkSafeNB is investigating a workplace fatality in Green’s Point, Letete, that claimed the life of 56-year-old Vance Pendleton on March 10.
Pendleton was among a group that was diving for urchin; when he did not surface, the other divers searched for him and found him approximately 40-50 feet deep at the bottom of a seabed. A preliminary investigation indicates that he drowned. WorkSafeNB is currently working in co-operation with the RCMP and the Coroner's Office until such time as jurisdiction can be confirmed.
