A 28-year-old man died early this morning in Pueblo while trying to steal electrical wiring from a high voltage electrical box...
The man, Brian Repinski of Pueblo, was brought unconscious to Parkview Hospital suffering from high voltage burns.
Duran said interviews were conducted with associates of Repinski. They said the electrocution occurred on Greenhorn Drive while Repinski and an accomplice were attempting to steal the wiring.
Detectives are continuing their investigation to determine whether Repinski and his associates were involved in other recent thefts and burglaries.

Obvious case of diminished capacity.
He knew it was wrong but the thought of all that recycling money lowered his resistance.
Some simple induction would have shown that this was not a good idea.

One of his friends said he was a “grounded” individual.
To add insult to injury, the hospital wants to “charge” him.

I had occasion to visit Pueblo and to visit the Dew Drop Inn. We ordered about 15 large pizzas and they were the best in my memory.

Was his obituary was placed on the Current Events page?
If he wanted to be conductor, he should have just applied to BNSF.
