Ridgewoood NJ, Ridgewood Police report that on Saturday August 22, 2015 police and fire units responded to the West Side Presbyterian Church on the report that a man had been electrocuted while working in the basement.
At the scene a worker was found unresponsive on the floor near an electrical box. He was transported to Hackensack Medical Center by the Ridgewood Volunteer Ambulance Squad.
It was later learned that the man had been attempting to connect a floor sander directly to the electrical box. This is not an accepted way of powering any type of equipment and electrical boxes and connections should only be handled by properly licensed technicians.
Doesn’t “electrocuted” mean “died”? Did he survive?
Lowest bidder?
What was the name of the company?
8:44. You can be injured from electricity but not die and this is still considered electrocution. But I think most people assume it means death.
Sounds like the same crew that did my floors years ago. They had a screwdrivers wired to an extension cord shoved into my breaker box. I’m glad I wasn’t there to see it in action until they were finished.
What is it about WSPC that so many bad things happen there? Fires, electrocutions on and on over the years.
