Mr Pimentel said Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.
Mr Pimentel said there would be an autopsy, but burn marks indicated the way the electricity travelled through Messenger's body.
Didn't the MythBusters prove this was just a myth, that a stream of urin can't conduct electricity because it is not a continuous stream but rather a lot of individual drops?
