Man 'killed by urinating on power line in ditch'
A man was killed when he accidentally urinated on a downed power line after a car crash, US authorities believe.

Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch, Dave Pimentel, the Grays Harbor County sheriff's deputy, told KXRO-AM radio on Monday.

However, family members found 50-year-old Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

Mr Pimentel said Messenger apparently 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.

Mr Pimentel said there would be an autopsy, but burn marks indicated the way the electricity travelled through Messenger's body.

Wow. He was trying to help and died trying. A shocking story. :cry:

We are hearing and seeing so many crazy stories.

Edit: He was trying to help himself out of the ditch and died trying. An innocent situation turned to a tragic event.

Who was he trying to help? Was the pole on fire? I'm confused.

How does urinating on a ditch helping himself out

Sheesh, you guys must have never stopped to 'help' somebody on the side of the road, eh? You're supposed to immediately piss on everything you see if you're actually trying to help.

Urine contains lots of electrolytes, which makes it a very good conductor.

hahaha

besides for you to get killed don't you need a steady stream to get "stuck" most likely you would get your whiner burned but you would instantly get unatached .

depends how many amps tough, and the health of the person.
