Peel Regional Police say the body of a man trapped underground Friday after an industrial accident in Mississauga has been recovered.

Emergency crews were called to the site at Hurontario St. and Burnhamthorpe Rd. around 3:30 p.m. and assisted multiple workers in a water chamber.

Police say a pipe ruptured, causing the chamber to fill up with water.

Crews recovered the last worker, a 54-year-old man, shortly after midnight, but despite the efforts of first responders, police say he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Ministry of Labour is investigating the accident.
