Man Electrocuted In Logan County
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Logan County Sheriff’s Office says the body of 37 year old Morris Goodman of Bruno was found in the Rich Creek area about 5:50 P.M. Sunday by a man riding his ATV on the old Belva Coal Company strip mine site. The rider told officers he saw two men standing by a truck about an hour before he found the body, but the truck was no longer at the site. Authorities say Goodman was electrocuted while trying to remove grounding cable from an Appalachian Power Company utility pole, causing his body to be severely burned.
