A 53-year-old man died when the camper trailer he was working on collapsed on top of him.
Northumberland OPP officers say shortly before 3 p.m. July 11, a 23-foot trailer collapsed on a man while he was working on it at a property on 11th Line West south of Havelock in Seymour Township.
Trent Hills Fire Department and Emergency Medical Services arrived on the scene to find that family members had raised the trailer to allow them access to the injured man. Further cribbing was put in place so that emergency personnel could remove the man and transport him to hospital.
Police say the man had been working on supports beneath the trailer when they suddenly became unstable and collapsed.
He succumbed to injuries at the hospital.
Investigators say the incident is not suspicious in nature and no foul play is suspected. The name of the man has not been released, pending notification of his relatives.
