Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch, Dave Pimentel, the Grays Harbor County sheriff's deputy, told KXRO-AM radio on Monday.
However, family members found 50-year-old Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.
Mr Pimentel said Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body....

Well, that's a shocker. You don't see that every day.
-
Apparently the live wire didn't like the message that Messenger was delivering.
Overall, this news item is a real pisser.

Agreed. That wire must have been hidden pretty well. I mean, it doesn't take a wiz kid to know one doesn't urinate on live wires.

I guess Mythbuster's isn't infallible after all. Call this "urban legend" probable.

I thought Mythbusters di it with an electric fence? This sounds like the guy wizzed on a down power line.

They did it with the 3rd rail on a subway track. Never did get it to work.

I believe the Brit version did try with an electric fence.
Seems that YouTube is down for the time being. Will have to look later.

I've seen a dog piss on an electric fence before and am positive it shocked the hell out of him!

Not from a standing position, no. They did get it to work by having the ballistics gel dummy's pecker positioned about three inches from the rail.

They don't always get it right. As I recall they 'Busted' the 'Sniper shot through his scope' story but a recent History Channel show on legendary snipers and their famous shots replicated it perfectly.

MONTESANO, Wash. –
The Grays Harbor County sheriff's office says autopsy results show that an Elma man who was killed by touching a downed power line was electrocuted through his hand and not through his urine stream as first suspected.
Chief Deputy Dave Pimentel said the results Wednesday showed 50-year-old Roy Messenger touched the wire with his left hand and the current shot through his body to his feet.
Pimentel said Thursday that Messenger may have been urinating at the time, but it had nothing to do with his death.
Messenger had collided with a power pole Friday night, knocking down the wire, and had called relatives to help pull is car out of the ditch.
When relatives found him dead it appeared that he had urinated on the downed wire.

You can now go back to peeing on downed electrical lines. It's safe.

Living in the boonies teaches kids about real life.
As kids we use to go rocking and rolling down dirt roads and every male in town knew not to get out of the car at night and piss anywhere near a farm.
Today we have up here in the boonies farms that breed Buffalo. Any idea what kind of fence one needs to keep them in .? Real high voltage electric fences.
Those fences to keep milk cows from wandering off are penny anti stuff for what is needed to keep a dozen Buffalo from stampeding.
Why the upsurge in small farms raising Buffalo, I believe it is the fact that with heart disease catching up to the oldsters, the demand for non fat meat is out of sight.
Just a lesson for you guys, if you got to go at night, in the dark, no one is looking so just squat and do your thing. I have yet to hear of a female getting shocked by a live wire.
