Manisa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Ferdi Zeyrek died from injuries sustained in an electrocution accident at his residence, Health Minister Memisoglu announced following the mayor's hospitalization and treatment.
The 48-year-old mayor was electrocuted around 11:35 p.m. local time while investigating a suspected electrical fault in his pool's motor system at his home. Family members immediately shut off electrical breakers and called emergency services after hearing distress sounds.

Always hire a professional when there is a pool problem, I'd rather be shocked by the bill.

Well, it’s a lot more creative than the usual FSB defenestration.

Outside North America, 240 volts AC is very common, and much more dangerous than our 120
volt mains voltage. Offhand, I can think of Thomas Merton being electrocuted in Thailand. There
are many more examples. GFI would have saved Merton and others.

I used to think that was the sound of someone getting zotted.

At least turn off the breaker if you suspect an electrical problem.
