    Word of caution for those who think they're scrappers!

    Police have identified the body found Wednesday in rural Sullivan County.

    Indiana State Police say *************, 38, of Prairieton was the man found dead at a small power supply station near Fairbanks.

    An autopsy lists ******* cause of death as "accidental" and "consistent with electrocution."



    Police said ***** may have been stealing copper wiring. Power substations throughout Sullivan County have recently been targeted by thieves who steal copper wire.

    Toxicology results on ***** could take up to two weeks.


    Just a tip for those tweekers who think that this may be a good idea. I know electricians who wouldn't go within 20ft of a substation without the power being killed. I wonder what gave the authorities the idea that he may have been stealing? Could it have been the bolt cutters on the other side of the fence from his body or the side cutters in his back pocket that have branded his dairy aire? Don't get me wrong, I like the color of copper as well, but c'mon man!!!!! If you only know one thing about electricity, know this. If it has enough running through it, you don't have to touch it to know it's alive.
