LABUAN: A Swedish sailor was found dead aboard his yacht anchored near Kampung Patau-Patau waters last night, Labuan police chief Hamizi Halim said.

He said the body was found by a member of the public, who alerted authorities at about 7.15pm.

Hamizi said Swesvahn Dick Thomas, 55, is believed to have died several days ago based on the condition of the body.

“Details surrounding the incident remain scant as investigations are ongoing,” he told reporters here today.

He said the body has been transferred to the forensic department at Labuan Hospital for further examination and post-mortem.

Hamizi said police called upon firefighters to extract the body from the yacht, which took about an hour.

He urged anyone with information to contact the police.
