THE ASSOCIATED PRESS MONTESANO, Wash. - Autopsy results show a man was electrocuted by touching a downed power line with his hand, not through his urine stream, as first suspected. Greys Harbor County Chief Deputy Dave Pimentel (http://topics.breitbart.com/Dave+Pimentel/) said the results showed 50-year-old Roy Messenger (http://topics.breitbart.com/Roy+Messenger/) touched the wire and the current shot through his body to his feet.
Pimentel said Thursday that Messenger may have been urinating at the time, but it had nothing to do with his death.
Messenger's car collided with a power pole (http://topics.breitbart.com/power+pole/) Friday, knocking down the wire, and he called relatives to help pull his car from a ditch.
When relatives found him dead, it appeared he had urinated on the downed wire.
