Man Electrocuted In Eagle Idaho

A bizarre accident leaves one man dead and a lot of people wondering what happened.  According to KTVB the identity of the man has not yet been released so that authorities can have time to properly notify family members and friends.  We do know that it was a 44-year-old man and there is no foul play suspected.

A bizarre accident that took place sometime after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday night in a pasture in Eagle, Idaho.  The 44-year-old man was fixing irrigation equipment near Beacon Light and Eagle roads and then somehow connected with an electric cattle fence.  We don't know if he was killed instantly but he was pronounced dead when the Ada County Sheriff's Office found him.

The body was found around 8 p.m. lying against the fence.  The grass was so high it took a lot of searching to find exactly where he was.  The Ada County Coroner's Office will release more information after family members have been notified.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to all that knew him.
