Electrocutado al robar cables

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

R.A.N., de 30 años de edad, murió ayer electrocutado mientras manipulaba los cables de un centro de transformación de alta tensión de Sevillana Endesa instalado a unos 300 metros de la nueva circunvalación que conecta Dos Hermanas con Montequinto. No era un operario de la empresa sino un delincuente común para la Policía Local, con antecedentes de robo y hurto continuo a la propiedad. Esta vez, pretendía hacerse con los cables de cobre un metal que podría vender a poco más de tres euros el kilo. El fallecido «se subió por la base de hormigón, maniobró el cableado y al tirar de él, rozaría con el material eléctrico quedando suelto en la torreta y produciéndose la descarga», apuntaron fuentes policiales que señalaron que el cuerpo fue encontrado sin vida en el suelo. Se desconoce aún cuánto tiempo pudo permanecer junto a la torreta eléctrica. Hasta allí se desplazó un equipo de emergencias que sólo pudo confirmar su muerte entorno a las 15 horas. En el Instituto Anatómico Forense se le practicó la autopsia. Los operarios que fueron a restablecer el servicio en la tarde de ayer dedujeron que «se agarró al hilo de tierra con la intención de robarlo por ser de cobre y al pegar el tirón, se desmontaría hasta que quedó electrocutado y el cuerpo salió despedido. Y todo por hacerse con apenas seis metros de metal». Otros trabajadores de la zona, actualmente en obras, comentaron a ABC que «un operario lo vio en el lugar del suceso, incluso orinando y venía acompañado de un chico y una chica en un Renault 19». Creen que el fallecido permaneció en las inmediaciones del transformador «hasta que decidió subirse para coger el cobre que está por fuera y le dio la descarga eléctrica». Aseguran que sus amigos dieron un primer aviso a la policía. «Sería alrededor de las once de la mañana porque aquí vinieron tanto agentes como bomberos a esa hora para rastrear los caminos, pero no encontraron nada. Luego, un camionero vio el cadáver y dio el aviso al 112». Esta segunda llamada de alerta se produjo, según los trabajadores, sobre las 14 horas. Responsables de las obras cercanas aseguraron que el robo de cobre es «muy frecuente» y que se produce casi a diario. «No sólo se llevan el cobre, sino grupos electrógenos, alargaderas, rulillos pequeños, una radial, taladros..todo con lo que puedan ganarse una peseta». Este suceso podría estar relacionado con el robo de cables que dejó sin luz a 20.000 clientes de Montequinto y la zona sur de Sevilla, aunque la Policía piensa que es pronto para establecer esta conexión.

Definitely Toss: Too Common
Even in Spanish, it is clearly evident that this is yet another case of some mook with visions of easy money getting cooked from the inside out while attempting to steal copper wire. We get several such incidents PER MONTH from around the world, making it perhaps the most common "stupid" way to kill oneself! Nevertheless, Kalapa, we DO appreciate your submission and hope you'll submit again in the future!

Copper theft (and death by electrocution while attempting copper theft) seems to be the popular way for clueless dolts to do themselves in these days. Thanks for sending it in, Kalapa.
