VANCOUVER, Nov. 26, 2015 /CNW/ - GOLDCORP INC. (TSX: G, NYSE: GG) today reported a fatal accident at its Musselwhite mine in Northern Ontario.  Early Wednesday morning a scoop operator was working underground when an unexpected fall-of-rock occurred.

"The health and safety of our employees is our highest priority at Goldcorp.
