IRM is providing ongoing mental health support to its employees and collaborating with the authorities to investigate this tragedy.” A GoFundMe fundraiser has been set up to support Derouin’s family. Set up on July 10, the fundraiser has accumulated over 120 donations and raised $14,860 worth of its $17,000 goal.

Heico also confirmed that the company was cooperating with the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Immigration, Training and Skills, responsible for investigating workplace injuries and deaths. The Hawkesbury detachment of the Onta- rio Provincial Police was unable to confirm whether or not their was an ongoing inves- tigation on their behalf.
