Man dies from electrocution on flooded Cavite street

A man in Cavite died after he was electrocuted while wading in floodwater brought by typhoon Paeng over the weekend.

A CCTV footage caught victim Macario Domingo Jr. braving the flood and then leaning on a lamp post before falling down, according to a report on "24 Oras."

Domingo was immediately rushed to the hospital but he was declared dead on arrival.

Barangay officials said they were not aware that the post was grounded and have not received any complaints related to it. They also said it is not connected to the Barangay Hall but to the homeowners' association.

Likewise, the President of the homeowners' association said they did not receive any complaints about the light post.

The barangay and the village association extended their condolences to the victim's family and said they are ready to communicate with them.—Sundy Locus/LDF, GMA News
