A Florida electrocution accident near Lake Magdalene, FL claimed the life of an Ohio man last Thursday.
35-year-old Jason T. Moore, a worker with Tampa Electric, was working in an elevated bucket at 14729 N Florida Ave. in Lake Magdalene, when he touched a live transformer.
"We heard a big bang and it blew out the power," said Zan Oliva, owner of a spa and salon across the street. "We looked outside and see the guy slouched over the bucket."
Firefighters responded to the scene of the accident while bystanders were performing CPR on Moore. He was taken to University Community Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.
Moore worked for Team Fishel, a utility contractor based in Columbus, Ohio, that had an office in Plant City. Our condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased.
