Man electrocuted apparently tried to steal wire
New Westminster police are attempting to identify a man who was electrocuted Sunday while apparently attempting to steal wire from a GVRD sewer pump station in the 200-block Brunette Ave.
Sgt Ivan Chu said the man’s badly charred body was found at about 3:30 p.m. when an electrician was dispatched to the pump station after a power interruption occurred.
"To get into the station he had to climb two high chain-link fences. He used wire cutters to cut his way in. Then he had to scale a 15-foo- high wall. He went up the wall using an exhaust duct," said Chu.
He said the man either jumped or fell off the wall onto one of the six transformers that were held off the ground on poles and was killed instantly.
The transformer carried 69,000 volts.
Chu said the electric shock was so severe it burnt the man’s clothes off.
"The clothes were just ash," he said. The victim’s bicycle was found parked outside the pump station.
