Investigation Summary
An employee was using a Delco 120-volt pressure washer to wash farm equipment. The electric cords supplying power to the washer had damaged insulation and did not contain equipment grounding conductors. The employee, who had on cloth gloves, was standing in water from the washing process. He was last seen alive at 8:30 (the original form did not indicate whether this was AM or PM). He was found dead 3 hours later. The autopsy ruled that he had been electrocuted.
