Investigation Summary
At approximately 5:42 p.m. on March 12, 2003, an employee was part of a tree trimming crew working at a private residence in Tampa, FL. A 32-foot aluminum extension ladder was leaned against a tree to provide the trimmer with access. As he removed the ladder from the tree, the ladder came into contact with an overhead power line energized at 7,620 volts. The employee was transported to Tampa General Hospital in Tampa, FL., where he was pronounced dead at 6:31 p.m. The medical examiner determined that electrocution was the cause of death.
