I think he was working on the boat. The area has many salmon farms. Google translation...
A diver died inside a culture center 30 minutes from Puerto Cisnes, while performing diving tasks for the same company, being trapped between the propellers of a boat, for reasons that must be clarified.

As explained by the chief prosecutor of Aysén, it was unfortunately a traumatic death due to the conditions of the same accident, which also originated when the boat was in motion.

"This person would have suffered an accident while carrying out his work on a boat and died on the spot, and coordination was generated to be able to proceed with police work and also the rescue of the body by specialized personnel from the Navy and Carabineros," he said. Pedro Poblete Viejo, chief prosecutor of Puerto Aysén.

The persecutor explained that they have all the evidence provided by the company to clarify the facts, considering that they had surveillance cameras in the center and also under water, so that all responsibilities can be determined quickly.

In addition, the PDI Homicide Brigade arrived at the scene , who were in charge of the expert reports.

"The body was sent to the Legal Medical Service for a rigorous autopsy. Homicide Brigade personnel were also dispatched to determine whether or not there was third party participation in the death," added Poblete.

While the judicial investigation is progressing, the Labor Directorate also raised a new summary to see if the protocols were respected and if the official had all the security measures that he required.
