RCMP and Manitoba Workplace Safety and Health are investigating the death of a farmhand after an incident on Thursday.
On Sept. 11, Yellowhead RCMP responded to a report of an incident near the community of Sandy Lake, about 100 km south of Dauphin.
A 44-year-old man from Keeseekoowenin First Nation had been unloading grain from the box of a truck when he began sinking into the grain, said RCMP.

Emergency crews rushed the man to hospital with life-threatening injuries.
On Sept. 14, the man died from his injuries in hospital.
RCMP said they will not be releasing the man’s name.
