An INVESTIGATION was under way yesterday after a Scottish oil worker was found dead on a rig off the coast of Malaysia.
The body of Ross Flett was discovered on the Transocean Rather drilling platform by his colleagues on Sunday.
The 35-year-old was a ballast control operator and had worked for the oil and gas firm for more than six years.
He lived with his wife, Morag in Buckie, the coastal town in Moray where he grew up.
It is not yet clear what caused Mr Flett’s death, but his employers have launched an investigation on the rig to try to find out what happened.
A spokesman for Transocean said: “We regret to confirm a fatality on board the drilling unit Transocean Rather.
“The fatality occured at approximately 9:10am local time on 13 April.
“A Transocean employee working as a ballast control operator was found without vital signs. The company has started an inquiry into the circumstances leading to the incident.”
