One of the first online death videos I remember coming across. Started me down the Chinese workers death rabbit hole and then into the Chinese truck/car/scooter/pedestrian realm. Miss some of those good sources from back in the day. Have gotten pretty hard to find.

The incident occurred in 2016 at an internet café in Huangpi, near Wuhan, China. Factory worker, Xiong Xuan (18), frequented the café and met up with his older brother, Xiong Feng, after his shift. According to his brother, Xiong Xuan cried out and hit his leg on the steel leg of the table when he unplugged his phone from a charging cable. Despite the commotion and Xiong Xuan foaming at the mouth, nobody stepped in to help.

Sources conflict on how he got to the hospital, and the linked Chinese news articles have been taken down, but either Xiong Feng called his uncle in a panic, and he took them to the hospital where Xiong Xuan was pronounced dead 20 minutes later, or an ambulance was called, and he passed away en route.

(Neurology nerd infodump below. Here is where the post ends if you aren't interested in my rambling, haha.)

I'm no expert, so please correct me if I'm wrong, but what always fascinated me about this case was the display of a form of involuntary abnormal posturing after Xiong Feng broke the circuit. His arms can be seen curling into his chest, one of the shows of decorticate posturing. This usually occurs alongside unconsciousness or coma when someone has suffered severe trauma to their cerebral cortex and parts of the brain that control motor functions. Abnormal posturing can be seen in many videos here in which a person suffers brain damage, whether that be due to oxygen deprivation or any other type of brain injury. Once abnormal posturing can be observed, the damage is usually irreversible.

Unfortunately, even if he had survived, it would be doubtful that he would ever function normally again.

Pretty sure I had this one saved from MMC. I don't have any info from the original post but feel free to share if you do and I'll pin.

no aftermath pics

I don't know where this is but it wouldn't surprise me if it is India.

Atleast his genes won't pass on to some poor children..

Enjoy.

The video show's that a man has appeared to climb a high voltage transmission pylon at Kasoa Galilea.

Galilea is located after the Kasoa toll booth on the way from Weija to Kasoa in the Ga South District of Greater Accra.

According to some eyewitnesses, he claimed he was tired of life.

He stepped on the transmission line and got electrocuted.

Videos depicting the incident have been shared on social media.

The body has since been conveyed to the morgue by the police.

The incident happened on Friday (October 14, 2022. and the man has been identified, Kofi Kakra, a 24-year-old bus conductor (trotro mate).

GRIDCo owns and operates a network of transmission systems for the distribution of bulk electric power in Ghana, consisting of about 3,670 circuit-kilometers of the 161 kV transmission lines and 34 High Voltage/Medium Voltage substations.

When he attempted to climb to the top, some onlookers tried to prevent him from getting to the top, but he outwitted them.

He got unto to the top, held the voltage disc, and touched the cable with his feet. It instantly electrocuted him.

The burnt body fell to the ground and the police later carried it to the mortuary.

Translation:

Amroha District Magistrate Rajesh Kumar Tyagi told that such instructions had already been issued that Tajiya should not be made more than 12 feet high, but the height of this Tajiya was about 20-22 feet.

Trans lives matter (just kidding)

This is very bad wire placement.
