Police in Newfoundland say a man was electrocuted Saturday by a downed power wire about 10 kilometres north of St. John’s, N.L.
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says officers arrived at the scene of the incident in Torbay, N.L., at about 9 p.m.
They found a downed live wire emitting flames, and an unresponsive man.
A news release today says paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene.
The release says two women were also injured and taken to hospital for treatment.
Const. James Cadigan, a spokesman for the force, says police haven’t yet determined what tore the wire down, but there were high winds in the area at the time of the incident.
