A man was electrocuted while working on an electrical pole in Manor Gardens on Friday morning.
“KZN VIP medical paramedics arrived on the scene to find that a male in his late twenties had been working on an electrical pole when he was electrocuted. SAPS Search and Rescue was called to the scene to assist in bringing the man down from the pole,” advanced life support paramedic, Garrith Jamieson, said.
He said once on the ground, the man was assessed. However, he had sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead on the scene.
Manor Gardens Community Policing Forum chairperson, Janus Horn, said he received a call from a friend just before 10 am informing him of the incident and that emergency services were needed urgently.
He hailed Jamieson and other emergency response companies for their speedy service.
“The biggest problem was to get the electricity turned off and to follow protocol. SAPS detective and photographers had to be called.”
Horn said officials from the eThekwini Fire Department, Metro Search and Rescue, and SAPS Search and Rescue had a tough task to recover the body. A fire truck ladder was used.
“Awesome teamwork from community members, metro police, and all emergency personnel. It was a sad day today as an innocent man lost his life. Condolences to his fellow team members and families.“
Provincial SAPS spokesperson, Colonel Thembeka Mbele, confirmed the incident. Police are investigating further.
