A man died Wednesday after he was electrocuted while allegedly trying to steal copper wire from a vacant senior housing complex in Philadelphia.

The unidentified man broke allegedly into the Brith Sholom House in West Philadelphia’s Wynnefield Heights neighborhood, according to The Philadelphia Tribune. Philadelphia Housing Authority (PHA) President and CEO Kelvin Jeremiah told the Tribune the man “had no business being there.”

Jeremiah said workers found the body in the basement near the building’s electrical switch gears. The man had allegedly been stripping copper wires when he was electrocuted.
