Oslo, Ramadan 5, 1435, Jul 3, 2014, SPA -- Norwegian police were Thursday investigating the death of a man who fell from an ambulance helicopter into the North Sea off western Norway, dpa reported. The incident occurred Wednesday morning when a helicopter was dispatched to an oil rig about 80 kilometres north-west of the city of Bergen to transport the Swedish national to the mainland for medical treatment, the Bergens Tidende newspaper reported. A few kilometres from the mainland, the 37-year-old apparently opened an emergency exit door and fell 600 metres to the sea surface. Initial reports said the crew had no time to react. The body was retrieved later Wednesday, the newspaper said. -- SPA 16:03 LOCAL TIME 13:03 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
