Ontario Ministry of Labour investigators are trying to determine the cause of a fatality at a metal products plant in Windsor, ON.

A 45-year-old woman died after a 2,200-kilogram metal coil rolled onto her. An industrial crane was used to lift the coil from the victim, Cindy Libby, who never regained consciousness before being pronounced dead in hospital.

Libby, a working mother, was well known and well liked and she was said to have had a great sense of humor. Co-workers were devastated by her death. The incident occurred at Prince Metal Products Ltd.
