ROXAS CITY, Capiz— A 27-year-old farmer died by accidental electrocution Tuesday afternoon at Sitio Camarin, Barangay Tapulang in Maayon Capiz.
Jojo Bacelonia was declared dead at Bailan District Hospital in Pontevedra town due to third degree burns.
The Maayon police said Bacelonia was tinkering with a piece of electric wire, which he was supposed to use to electrocute fishes in the river near their house.
The victim then asked his seven-year-old son to plug in the wire into the electrical outlet. But he was unaware of the open portion of the wire which he accidentally touched, resulting in his death.
