Investigation Summary
On July 25, 2006, Employee #1, a 56-year-old lineman from an electrical utility company, was walking through a heavily wooded area. The metropolitan area had experienced a major power outage, after a huge storm on July 19, 2006. Employee #1 was trying to locate a downed overhead power line, in an effort to restore power in the neighborhood. Apparently, Employee #1 inadvertently walked on the 7,200-volt overhead power line, causing him to be electrocuted and killed. Employee #1 was working alone, and weather conditions were favorable but hot at the time of the accident.
