LABUAN: A 27-year-old subcontractor was found dead after falling into the sea while conducting repair works on a jetty near downtown here today (March 5).
Labuan Fire and Services Department officer Riham Abdollah said the victim, identified as Zamri Lamuseng from Putatan, Penampang, Sabah, was believed to have been installing scaffolding under the jetty operated by Shell Timur Sdn Bhd when he fell into the sea at around 11am.
"Our diver rescue team found Zamri’s body at a depth of 16m; he was later pronounced dead at the scene by the medical team,” he added. Labuan police chief Supt Ahmad Jawilla said the victim was with four other workers when they were installing the scaffolding. "They arrived at the jetty at 6am to do the installation, but at around 11am, they found Zamri was not at the jetty. They saw his safety helmet floating near the jetty, and immediately turned on the emergency siren,” he said.
Supt Ahmad urged members of the public with information about the incident to inform the Labuan police station. - Bernama
