13-годишното момче умира, след като се свърже с електропровода на югозапад от Едмънтън

RCMP споделят, че 13-годишно момче, претърпяло електрически потрес на югозапад от Едмънтън, е починал.

Police said the boy, who is from the Warburg Hutterite Colony, was walking in an area where some work was being done with an excavator Tuesday afternoon when he came into contact with a downed power line, suffering an electric shock.

STARS Air Ambulance was called in to rush the boy to hospital, but RCMP confirm they were informed of the boy’s passing on Thursday morning.

Investigators from Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) have been called in to lead the investigation with help from the RCMP, but police said the boy’s death is not considered criminal in nature.

There’s been no explanation on how the powerline was downed, but in a written statement to Global News, Fortis Alberta said there was an Непланиран спиране в региона на Уорбург, откакто трета страна влезе в контакт с Powerline.

колонията Hutterite забави началото на тяхното учебно заведение, с цел да даде време на общността да оплаква гибелта на момчето.
