In an unsual incident, a 34-year-old man was electrocuted and died after he urinated on a live wire near the Chennai Harbour in India on Tuesday evening.
According to the police, K Murugan, a resident of NSK Nagar in Arumbakkam, was working as a LPG delivery man with a gas agency in Arumbakkam. The agency had a supply contract with ITC and he had gone to deliver the cylinders at the harbour on Tuesday.
While returning, he stopped his vehicle near the roadside and went to urinate. Police said there were a lot of container lorries parked on the roadside and some of them had freezer boxes.
"He walked into a narrow street, where there was a generator running to supply power for some of the freezer boxes and when he urinated he came in contact with an exposed live wire. He was rushed to the hospital where he was declared brought dead," a police official said. The police said that Murugan could have been electrocuted after he urinated on the portion of the wire where patches of the insulation were torn off.
