A 46-year-old worker who suffered severe burns while transferring gasoline has died in Aktobe Region. The man was burned almost entirely, and doctors fought for his life for a week but could not save him, infohub.kz reports.
The deceased was named Zhubandyk Duisembayev. According to the KTK TV channel's website, almost his entire body was burned. The fire occurred on October 13 when two workers were transferring gasoline. Both suffered burns, after which the victims were airlifted from the district to the regional center.
Specialists from Astana were brought in for treatment. The second victim, who had 40 percent of his body burned, was transported to the capital. As Nurlan Abishev, a traumatologist at Aktobe's Multidisciplinary Hospital No. 1, said, "during treatment, we sent one patient to Astana by air ambulance. The second patient, due to the severity of the injury, 85 percent, died."
The investigation into the emergency has not yet been completed. It was previously reported that two workers suffered severe burns while transferring gasoline in Aktobe Region, and doctors later spoke about the serious injuries of the victims — one of them was burned almost entirely.
