One worker has died and at least three others are in hospital after a suspected carbon monoxide leak at a business west of Edmonton Tuesday morning.

Four workers were taken to hospital, where one of them later died, Bancarz said.

OHS officers were en route to investigate, he said. 

Bancarz said the company is located in the Acheson industrial area of Parkland County.
