MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.
Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM'-en-tel) said Monday 50-year-old 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.
However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

It happened in Washington? DC?
To: freedumb2003
Are you thinking of the third rail or a power line?

Yes it was. He just completed the circuit.

Nope....exactly the converse.....his 'rod' was grounded ---- through his legs to the ground....if he'd been floating in the air, nothing would have happened....

Plausible? You mean they didn’t try it to see if it was true?

Every myth examined is assigned a “final” status of Busted, Plausible or Confirmed.
They put a breaker into a human analogy and tried to simulate a urine stream onto a power source approximating the power of the third rail of a subway train.
I need to look it up now... (LOL)
