A DAD has died after a barbecue he was making out of a metal drum exploded.
Ian Morrison was using a grinder on the 45-gallon drum when the tragedy happened.
It was understood the drum had previously contained thinners.
The 50-year-old was working on his own when the explosion happened at Ross Agri Services near St Cyrus around 8am on Saturday.
A handful of staff went to his aid but were unable to save him.
His son, also Ian, works at the same Invergarry plant as a mechanic.
It was thought his son, who lives in Brechin, was not at the premises which are also home to a light engineering workshop.
Mr Morrison, who lived near Montrose, was well known through his work with Ross Agri.
Firefighters from Inverbervie and Laurencekirk were called to the scene, along with a spe******t unit from Aberdeen.
Although other workers were in the workshop at the time, no one else was hurt as a result of the accident.
Grampian Police said that they had received a call about the accident around 8.20am.
A spokesman said: “Grampian Police confirm that along with the Health and Safety Executive, they are investigating the death of a 50-year-old man as a result of an industrial accident.â€
He said there did not appear to be any suspicious circumstances surrounding Mr Morrisonâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s death.
Ross Agri refused to comment.
