Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole on Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch, Dave Pimentel, the Grays Harbor County sheriff's deputy said. However, family members found 50-year-old Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
Mr Pimentel said 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.
Mr Pimentel said there would be an autopsy, but burn marks indicated the way the electricity travelled through Messenger's body.
