A third First Bus driver has died after a coronavirus outbreak at a Falkirk based depot.
Bosses have confirmed the devastating news saying the member of staff passed away in hospital after a long battle with the illness.
It follows the death of 'legend' Thomas Rooney, 57, last month after he contracted the virus.
He was described by colleagues as the “heart and soul of Larbert Depot” where he worked, after a 36-year career with the transport company.
Those who worked alongside him say he was a “real character and an absolute gem of a man.”
A fortnight later, it was confirmed that Robert Fraser, another driver at the base, had lost his life.
But it is not yet not known if coronavirus was the cause of death.
Andrew Jarvis, First Midland managing director, said: "I can confirm one of our colleagues has sadly passed away in hospital following a long battle with coronavirus.
"Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with his family, colleagues and friends at this difficult time."
