ALTHOUGH NO ONE SAW THE ACCIDENT, IT WAS SURMISED THAT THE EMPLOYEE BROUGHT THE LADDER INTO CONTACT WITH THE OVERHEAD LINE. THERE WERE BURN MARKS ON THE LADDER AND ON THE EMPLOYEE'S HANDS AND FEET. CARDIO-PULMONARY RESUSCITATION BY THE TENANT AND DEFIBRILLATION BY THE EMERGENCY MEDICAL SQUAD WERE ATTEMPTED WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE EMPLOYEE DIED OF ELECTROCUTION.
