Catalyst Paper Mill, Crofton
The B.C. Coroners Service has identified 62-year-old Brian Norman Allen as the man who died in a Jan. 27 incident at Catalyst Paper’s Crofton mill.

Allen, a heavy-machine operator, was using a bulldozer to pile up hog fuel — made up of debris, usually bark — when the machine fell off the high end of the pile, the coroners service said.

He was found later by colleagues and was dead at the scene.

The coroners service, RCMP and WorkSafe B.C. are investigating.
