A Tustin man was taking photos of a sunset from the tree in his backyard when he somehow got tangled in electrical wires. The 28 year old man instantly died when he became electrocuted Saturday night. The deadly encounter occurred in the 15600 Block of S. California cross of Medallion. Orange County Fire Authority's Captain Steve Concialdi said that the victim's parents were looking for him and calling his name after the incident occurred. It was only until the next morning they found the damaged body in the tree. After calling the police the fire department arrived to the scene and spent one hour de-energizing all the electricity in the area for safe recovery of the man's body. After taking out the victim the firefighters took some time to comfort the family and sympathize for their loss. They also discovered David posted a picture of the sunset on facebook shortly before he died.
Concialdi's main message to people was to stay away from any type of electrical wires. Coming into contact with one of them, even a cable wire can cause serious damage. David is a prime example of the dangerous events that can occur because of electrical currents if not handled properly. Therefore, all people should be careful and aware of the consequences.
