Male Teenager Dies of Electrocution Over Attempt to Steal Cable From Electric Pole
ELECTROCUTION – A male teenager dies of electrocution over a desperate attempt to steal a cable from an electric pole.
Electrocution is a danger that happens when someone gets a strong electric shock, and it can cause serious harm or even death. It happens when a person’s body becomes part of an electric circuit, which means electricity flows through them instead of the wires where it’s supposed to go.
Understanding the risks and taking preventive measures can significantly reduce electrocution incidents. It occurs when an individual comes into direct contact with an electric current, leading to severe injury or death.
The human body is a conductor of electricity, and when it encounters an electric source, the current flows through it, disrupting the body’s natural electrical signals and causing extensive damage.
