2020 Pending Review
I'm shocked!
n a separate matter, a man was found dead in a rural area of Miaoli County’s Houlong District (後龍) yesterday, police said, adding that he was apparently electrocuted by a power line.
The man, identified as a 44-year-old surnamed Lu (呂), was killed the day before when he allegedly tried to steal the metal wire to sell, Miaoli police said.
They said they found tools he might have used to remove the wire nearby, including a ladder, latched on a power pole, as well as wire cutters, a hammer and metal chains for scaling the pole.
Lu’s hands had electrocution marks and his skull was broken, likely from landing on his head after falling, police said.
