Electric Shock - Possible Contact with Overhead Line

A power line worker was working from the bucket of an articulating-boom aerial lift, connecting a 120/240-volt service line to an overhead secondary line above him. A coworker on the ground noticed that the power line worker was unresponsive, and he lowered the bucket to the ground. Emergency medical services transported the injured employee to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. (The original form stated that the employee suffered a cardiac arrest, but did not indicate whether it was caused by an electric shock.)
