PITTSBURGH (AP) - Authorities in western Pennsylvania say the death of a laborer who came into contact with electricity while working on a Pittsburgh home has been ruled accidental.
The Allegheny County medical examiner’s office said Saturday that 21-year-old Dakota Marshall of Ford City was electrocuted Thursday in the home in the city’s Shadyside neighborhood.
Police and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration are investigating, though officials haven’t said what kind of work Marshall was doing or who he was working for.
A city public safety spokeswoman says Marshall was moving some planks when he was “exposed to electricity.”
