A 77-year-old Canadian man died in a bizarre accident at the Saint-Gregoire cemetery in Buckingham on Monday evening.
Gatineau police said the man had gone to work on his parents' headstone.
"It appears he moved the stone and was digging a hole around the foundation when the concrete block fell on his back," said Const. Isabelle Poirier.
Another visitor to the cemetery noticed an apparently abandoned car on the grounds, at the corner of Buckingham and Lépine avenues and called police.
Officers searched the cemetery for the car driver and found the man dead under the foundation.
The man's name has not been released as family is still to be notified.
