CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The Cleveland EMS division confirmed a person
was fatally electrocuted early Wednesday morning at a power substation
on the city’s East side.

First responders were initially dispatched to the substation in the area
of East 185th Street near Cochran Avenue at approximately 2:55 a.m.,
according to EMS officials.

The individual was pronounced dead at the scene.

Crews spent several hours working to shut power off and extricate the
body from where the male was was discovered tangled in the live wires
approximately 30 feet in the air.

According to Cleveland police, early information indicates that the
male, who was in possession of a bolt cutter when he was found, climbed
up the side of the substation and encountered a live power source.

This story will be updated.

Semi-literate newswriter* on the job there at WOIO/Cleveland, as "fatally electrocuted" is a redundancy--for when anyone is electrocuted, it is BY DEFINITION fatal.

But don't take MY public-school-educated word for it; just ask Julius or Ethel Rosenberg, or even Ted Bundy. (Triple d'oh!)

I similarly consider it a matter of definition that it is
fatal to be "strangled"...as opposed to merely "choked".
