Details of Event
He was apparently trying to locate an electrical fault, when he came into contact with a girder which was live through resting on another girder which had cut through the insulation of an unarmoured lighting cable carrying current at 500 volts. He had been warned not to go near the girders as they were live. Death was almost instantaneous.
