CIUDAD DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Six oil workers who were rescued after floating for three days in the Gulf of Mexico are stable and conscious, though suffering from bumps and bruises and sunburned after weathering a tropical storm, a doctor overseeing their treatment said Monday.

All were transferred from a hospital run by Mexico’s state oil company, Petroleos Mexicanos, or Pemex, to a private clinic, said Dr. Liliana Santana. A Pemex official also said Bangladeshi oil worker Kham Nadimuzzaman died in the hospital after being rescued. Two other workers were found dead, and rescue crews continued the search for the last of the 10 workers.
