The Quebec Coroner’s Office announced a public inquiry into three deaths that occurred in recent months in the construction industry.

The coroner’s investigation will focus specifically on the deaths of Médrik Lincourt, which occurred on Aug. 4, in Terrebonne; Mario Ross, which occurred on April 4, in Drummondville; and Vito Fundaro, which occurred on June 19, 2024, in Montreal.

Coroner Andrée Kronström will seek to determine the causes and circumstances surrounding these deaths and to develop a broader reflection on current safety practices in the industry. The Coroner’s Office indicates that “if necessary,” she will make recommendations with the aim of preventing further deaths in similar circumstances.
