Man electrocuted by wedding ring

In a tragic incident, a man died of electrocution while fising his faulty dishwasher.

According to WKMG, the 33-year-old man who lived in Florida, US, was found in an unresponsive state near the dishwasher by his brother and sister-in-law. He was found on his knees with his left arm hidden behind the dishwasher.

Both the brother and the sister-in-law called in the paramedics and meanwhile performed CPR on him. However, the man was declared brought dead by the time he was rushed to the nearby hospital.

According to WKMG, the man had asked his brother to switch the power on for the dishwasher just before he was found in a motionless state. Little had the man realised that he was perched in a pool of water.

Further investigation revealed, that the man's wedding ring had touched a naked copper wire and he was electrocuted the moment the power was switched back on.
