Syed was walking under an excavator that was lifting the plate with a chain when it slipped and fell.

Paramedics rushed Syed to hospital in critical condition. A short time later, police confirmed his death.

Quebec's workplace health and safety board is investigating why a safety latch, which would have kept the metal in place, was not fastened.

Syed's family says he was a gentle soul and a well-respected member of the Pakistani community on Montreal's West Island.

Funeral services are set for Tuesday.
