Using wire cutters on LIVE wires

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Man was trying to steal the copper wire from a vacant mall but the wires still had 440 volts!!!

Crispy fried? You bet. Took them 4 days to figure out who he was.

"Authorities have identified the body of a man who was electrocuted Tuesday outside Rolling Acres Mall.

Jeffrey A. Guysick, 29, of Barberton, was killed about 1:30 p.m. while apparently using wire cutters to gain access to copper wiring outside the nearly vacant mall.

Gary Guenther, an investigator with the Summit County Medical Examiner's Office, released Guysick's identity Thursday.

Investigators had previously been unable to identify his body due to the severity of the burns suffered from the electrocution.
