Investigation Summary
An employee was helping to remove a vinyl covering from an outdoor advertising sign. Standing on the top, back side of the billboard, he removed a 4.3-meter-long stretch pole from the vinyl cover. He flipped the pole to the west, and it contacted a 7200-volt overhead power line located 2.4 meters away. He received an electric shock and then fell 8.2 meters to the ground. He died either from electrocution or from the injuries he sustained in the fall.
