VANCOUVER — Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) says a worker has been killed at its Musselwhite Mine in northern Ontario.

The gold miner says the scoop operator died while working underground when rocks fell and completely covered the digger on Wednesday morning.

Work at Musselwhite has been suspended until authorities complete their investigation.

Musselwhite began commercial production in April 1997.
