Chonburi —
A 42-year-old man was electrocuted to death after accidentally stepping on a live power outlet on a wet floor and breaking it.
Today, May 13th, Pol. Capt. Kunthawat Ruamjit from the Chonburi Police Station responded to a fatal accident in the Ban Suan sub-district, Mueang District, Chonburi.Â
According to Captain Kunthawat, the police found the body of Yuttana Wanthayat, 42, facing upside down on a wet floor with a fractured power outlet at his feet. The police then unplugged it, assuming the victim had stepped on it by mistake and been electrocuted to death.
The victim’s 27-year-old wife, Oranong Premkamon, and his mother-in-law arrived at the accident scene later and were reportedly devastated to learn that her husband had departed this life. They revealed to the Chonburi police that Yuttana worked in a shopping mall and usually did side jobs installing electrical outlets and furbishing houses to feed his family. Â
According to the house owner (name and age withheld), she said that she hired the victim to build a roof for her mushroom farm. She was unaware of the accident until a person came to tell her that the victim lost consciousness on the floor.
As a standard policy, Mueang Chonburi police were investigating to clarify the cause of death.Â
