Sri Racha —
A Thai electrician was accidentally zapped with electricity while installing a light in Sri Racha. He then fell down a ladder that he was working on and sustained further serious injuries.
The unfortunate mishap happened at a two-storey building in Chonburi’s Sri Racha district. Local rescue teams rushed to the scene on Sunday afternoon, July 23rd, following the notification of the incident.
On the second floor of the building, the rescuers found the victim, 40-year-old Mr. Paiboon Ketnet, lying unresponsive on a restroom floor. They immediately performed CPR to resuscitate him after knowing that his heartbeat had stopped.
After successfully restoring Paiboon’s pulse, the rescuers transferred him to Laem Chabang Hospital for urgent medical treatment. Upon interviewing his co-workers, the rescuers were told that Paiboon was an electrician, and he accidentally suffered a severe electric shock while installing a light.
The electrocution threw Paiboon off his ladder onto the ground, causing him to lose consciousness and his heart to stop beating. Local media reports suggest that Paiboon is currently receiving intensive medical attention, but his fate remains uncertain.
