A five-year-old boy was electrocuted to death in Culaba, Biliran on Saturday after he hit a grounded electricity post while riding a bicycle.

According to a report on “24 Oras Weekend,” investigation showed that John Javier Dimalaluan fell onto a post, which was grounded due to a peeled live wire that was connected to it.

The victim was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.
