Because of the power outage, the Tucson Electric Staff came in a manhole for inspection. An autopsy report reveals that the electricity cooked the man to death, evaporating all of his moisture in his body and turning it into a mummy, while he was trying to cut the wires more than a year ago.

Identified as a 51-year-old man based on the ID card found on his body, was discovered underneath the high-voltage utility vault. He was found near the ladder in the manhole, holding a pair of bolt cutters with some cut copper wires nearby.


Because of the condition of the body the medical examiner don't think they are going to do fingerprints. They are hoping dental records or DNA comparison would help identify the man.
