Sounds like a scene from Final Destination

It's sad, no doubt, but it's one of the most ironic deaths I have seen in a long time. Truly a case of mixed emotions.

Wash. man electrocuted by urinating on power line

MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.
Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM'-en-tel) said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.

However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

They tested in electric fence, gotta imagine the extra juice is what made the difference.

 

[StromBusa]

I hate it whan that happens ??? Prolly drank too much beer to start out.

 

[Vonderbach]

Yeah, an electric fence has tons of voltage but no amperage. But a powerline has both. ???

not as sad as those 3 teen girls yesterday making a suicide pact..one backed out and watched the other 2 get mangled by a amtrac fast mover as they hugged on the tracks...what is wrong with kids these days

 

[twotonevert]

One tenth of one amp is enough to defib your heart. Assuming is was low voltage distribution and not sub transmission, it could have been an easy 7200 volts or more.

 

[BIG GUY]

That does just suck. That is a sad way to go.

Unreal! Just walking along minding your business and the next minute you're deader then a door nail! Traumatized the kids and the tractor driver for life I'm sure.

Just never know when your times up :down:
