The reasons of the death will be known after post-mortem, sources said.
A team from OIL is carrying out an inspection at the well site to find out possible reasons for the incident.
On Monday, OIL diverted the gas from Baghjan no 5 oil well to the flare pit but the success lasted only for a couple of hours after an explosion ripped apart the well head causing valve around the BOP due to intense pressure from the gas well.
