Federal regulators are investigating a workplace death that happened last week at the Port of Johnstown, Ont.

Steven Lennon, 53, died on the job just before 2 p.m. last Tuesday, according to police. Lennon was an employee of Logistec, a marine cargo handling company. He was pronounced dead at the scene.The Labour Program, a federal institution that is part of Employment and Social Development Canada, is investigating the fatal incident because port services that cross provincial or international borders are federally regulated.

Lennon was from St-Bruno-de-Montarville, an eastern suburb of Montreal. It's unclear what happened that caused his death. Logistec operates in more than 54 ports and 80 terminals across North America. The company employs about 3,200 people and has been operating for more than 65 years in North America.

The results of the probe won't be released publicly, the ESDC statement said. The Canada Labour Code limits the sharing of the investigative report to the workplace parties because they contain personal information.
