A 20 year-old cabin crew member with TransMaldivian Airways (TMA) has died after colliding with the propeller of a seaplane at Conrad Rangali Island resort.
The police identified the victim as Ismail Hamdoon Mahmood of Fehifarudhaage, Maduvaree in Neemu Atoll.
Police confirmed that a team had been dispatched to the resort to investigate the incident.
Conrad Maldives issued a statement confirming that the incident occurred early Tuesday evening in the resort’s lagoon.
“It is with deep regret that we confirm the death of that crew member. No one else was injured in this incident. This has been a tremendous shock, and Conrad Maldives Rangali Resort extends its deepest condolences to the family. This matter is now being handled by the appropriate authorities,” the statement read.
In a statement, TMA’s Managing Director Edward Alsford said that Hamdhoon had “accidentally walked into the line the moving propeller and was subsequently struck and died.”
“TMA have infomed the family and is liaising with the relevant authorities. At the time of the incident the aircraft had no passengers aboard as the crew had moored the aircraft for overnight parking.”
Local media Sun Online reported a source from resort as saying that it was raining at the time and Mahmood had slipped and collided with the propeller while walking on the platform, and fell into the lagoon. His body was retrieved from the water by resort staff and is currently being kept at the resort clinic, Sun reported.

Each and everyone of us has the right to reveal their thoughts.. Hassan Manik had shared his thoughts, i respect that and i think all the readers do..
BUT its wrong you to judge who goes to heaven or hell...
May god bless the soul..
May god bless Hamdhaan. Rest In Peace Brother
May Hassan Manik be hit by a truck, stike by lightening and explode in a fire. Aameen
My condolences to the family, it must be especially sad to lose him at such a young age.
I hope TMA will learn from the tragedy, conduct a thorough investigation and re enforce training. Even in unrelated industries, for too long has safety been a second priority.
Hamdhoon's death must not be in vain.
@manik- Sarcasm and being funny has a time and place
@tsk tsk- Really??...tsk tsk
