An investigation has been launched into the death of a man who was left stranded without heat or power in bad weather at the 50MW Afton onshore wind farm in Scotland.

The 74-year-old and a 42-year-old colleague were working on Sunday at the Afton project in East Ayrshire. The south of Scotland was hit by heavy snowfall and cold temperatures over the weekend, and was the subject of a number of weather warnings.
