Man Electrocuted After Urinating on Live Power Line


A 50-year-old Montesano, Washington man was found dead on Friday after he crashed his car into a power pole. But it wasn't the crash that killed him.

Cops believe after the collision, Roy Messenger, who was not seriously hurt, called a relative to pull his car from a ditch. As he waited for his friend to arrive, Roy who was drunk urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

An autopsy will be performed, but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Roy's body.
