Columbine Survivor Electrocuted on Job near Carlsbad, New Mexico
« on: June 20, 2013, 01:00:35 AM »
A survivor of the Columbine High School shootings has died while working in New Mexico for Xcel Energy.

Thirty-year-old Matthew Depew was electrocuted Saturday morning while working to restore power outside of Carlsbad, N.M., where he was based.

Depew was one of the first callers from inside Columbine High School to alert authorities to the shooting in 1999. His father was a Denver police officer, and Depew called the Denver Police Department after finding the body of one of the students killed.

Depew left Columbine after his sophomore year.

The Eddy County sheriff's office is investigating Depew's death. Xcel said it is also conducting an investigation. Company officials issued a statement expressing their condolences.

RIP Matthew. I'm glad I don't work around high voltage/amperage electricity. I have avery strong respect of it, bordering on fear.

You fear it, you're going to get killed.  Respect, yes.  Fear, no.

I'm sure I'll be running across some information at some point as the investigation progresses.  Utilities are pretty good about sharing information of this type.

The press does realize that everyone in that building not killed that day will eventually die for some reason or the other, no?

It's all about keeping that tragedy fresh in minds so that the gun control freakshow can continue its fearmongering.

That didn't occur to me at first, but now that you mention it, it seems so obvious.
