SEATTLE (AP) — Police say one man died and another was taken to Harborview Medical Center with life-threatening injuries following an electrocution accident in Seattle’s Central District neighborhood.
The accident occurred at a church where a crew appeared to be working on the side of the building. Police say the two men were moving an aluminum ladder when a large gust of wind pushed it into an electrical wire, electrocuting them both.
A 52-year-old male died and a 27-year-old male was transported to the hospital where he was in critical condition.
