WorkSafeNB is investigating a workplace fatality at a tire shop in Moncton, N.B., last week.

A spokesperson for WorkSafeNB said the workplace fatality happened on Oct. 18 at a Coast Tire location in the city.

“We offer our deepest condolences to the worker's family, as well as their friends and colleagues,” said Lynn Meahan-Carson from WorkSafeNB.

“As the investigation is ongoing, we cannot release any further information.”

Staff Sgt. Nick Arbour of the Codiac Regional RCMP told CTV News members responded to a call of a worker being injured at a business on Baig Boulevard shortly after 7 a.m. 

Arbour said police determined there was no foul play involved in the death and referred the incident to WorkSafeNB. 

"We completed our investigation and deemed it to be non-criminal," said Arbour.

Arbour wouldn't comment on what happened, saying that was a matter for WorkSafeNB. 

The Coast Tire location on Baig Boulevard was closed Thursday.
