Pee Careful
1st March, 2010, Montesano, USA
We don’t usually include dead nominees (because we leave that for the Darwin’s) but we thought this guy deserved a nomination based on the fact that he survived the initial crash but still managed to kill himself.
When a 50 year old man crashed his car into a power pole one night last week, he escaped the crash without being seriously hurt and was able to ring a relative to help him pull his car out of the ditch. The family members arrived to help him and found him dead at the scene.
Authorities initially believed that he’d been killed whilst urinating onto a live wire he didn’t see on the ground in the ditch; the urine stream serving as a conductor of the electricity. However, an autopsy has now shown that he may have touched the wire with his left hand, possibly while urinating, allowing the current to travel through his body and out his foot instead.
