Man survives hitting electric pole- pisses on it-electrocutes himself

[the color nine]

Authorities in Washington have confirmed the death of a man who was accidentally killed when he urinated on a downed power line after a car crash.

50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt in the crash when he collided with the power pole and his car rolled into a ditch.

While he was waiting for a relative to arrive to pull his car from the ditch, Mr Messenger was electrocuted when he apparently urinated without observing the live wire which had fallen.

According to officials, the urine stream served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to kill him.

Pre-autopsy reports said burn marks had indicated how the electricity had travelled through Messenger's body

A motorist who crashed and knocked over an electricity pole died after he urinated on the live wire.

Roy Messenger, 50, walked away unhurt from his car after the smash and rang relatives to help pull it out of a ditch. But he was dead when they arrived.

Police think he hadn't seen the wire and was electrocuted as he peed in Montesano, Washington.

Sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel said: "The urine likely served as a conductor through his body." A postmortem will be held.

If it was anywhere near the pole itself, I can't help but think he probably did it cuz he was ticked off at the pole for being in the way.  I know a lot of guys that would piss on something cuz they were ticked off at it's existence.

The death itself may not be funny but the manner of death sure is.

Right, and to me those are two totally different things. Not everyone gets us, though, Ron.

See, you can use this as a manner by which you judge if the death is funny or not.

Ron, you're a genius.

That's not bad actually. Hahahaha. I mean stick in "shot during a hold up" or "I was killed by a drunk driver" and it's not the least bit humorous. But "exploding toilet" is a pretty funny answer. :lol:

No :lol: when I first read this story, I forwarded it to a blog dedicated to people doing dumb shit, a radio station, and the Darwin awards people. So that they could laugh about it too.  :lol:

My dad's wife's nephew died in the city by peeing on the third rail. People have told me that there was a myth busters that broke the myth about being electrocuted while peeing. But I swear, it happened and it apparently happened to this man.  Rip man
