A 30-year-old man is dead after a piece of machinery fell into the ocean at a Vancouver Island pulp mill.

North Cowichan/Duncan RCMP say they were called to the Catalyst Pulp and Paper Mill in Crofton around noon on Wednesday, after getting a report that a man was trapped inside the piece of machinery when it fell into the water.

They say first responders and Canadian Coast guard divers attempted a rescue, but the man died at the scene.

Police did not release more information about the man’s identity or where he was from.

B.C. RCMP spokesperson Alex Bérubé, says the BC Coroners Service and WorkSafeBC are both investigating the incident.
