Man electrocuted by urinating on power line
This guy survived crashing into the power pole but nature's call got him. Heard this on the news last night and thought it was a joke at first. But... it's not.
MONTESANO, Wash. –
An Elma man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a one-car crash near Montesano.
Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said Monday that 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday night and called a relative to pull his car out of the ditch.
When family members arrived they found Messenger electrocuted. Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire.
Pimentel says there will be an autopsy, but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through the body.
