Electric Fish
(25
May 1999, Ukraine)
A
fisherman in Kiev electrocuted himself while fishing in the River Tereblya. The
43 year-old man connected cables to the main power supply of his home, and
trailed the end into the river. The electric shock killed the fish, which
floated belly-up to the top of the water. The man waded in to collect his catch,
neglecting to remove the live wire, and tragically suffered the same fate as the
fish. ... In an ironic twist, the man was fishing for a morning meal to
commemorate the first anniversary of his mother-in-law's death.
