snoop1130 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 A 40-year-old Burmese factory worker was electrocuted to death in Sri Racha reportedly while working. Piao Yeang Tai rescue workers were called to assist a man who was electrocuted and passed out at 6 p.m. yesterday, August 18th, in the Bueng subdistrict of Sri Racha, Chonburi. The rescue workers met with the victim who appeared to be a Burmese man at a gas station. He was lying motionlessly on a truck bed of his friends and suffered two dark burn wounds to his left hand and left foot. The rescue workers then checked his pulse and pronounced him dead at the gas station amid his mournful friends.

Popular Post Geoffggi Posted August 19, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 19, 2022 It was not immediately clear if an investigation would take place on the cause of the death or why a clinic allegedly refused to assist. I hope the fact that he was Burmese did not cause dual standards to apply ...... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like "drowned to death" or "killed to death" based on the real meaning of the word, but now anyone can be "electrocuted" and survive. ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BangkokReady Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 @macahoom The word electrocute was coined as a term to describe being killed by electricity by the state as punishment for a crime. It's based on the word execute which, in this context, means to put to death through capital punishment. Exe-cute - electro-cute Hence my suggestion that it is similar to "drowned to death" or "killed to death", since "electrocuted to death", by the unmeddled with definition, means "killed by electricity... to death". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacovl46 Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 14 hours ago, mikebell said: Can one be electrocuted not to death? Yeah, absolutely. I remember seeing a documentary about a German girl who went to work in Peru somewhere in the mountains in a valley. There was a lightning storm in the neighboring valley while in her location the weather was sunny. She went outside to hang her laundry on a wire outside her place when a lighting bolt from the other valley hit the wire. She survived, but the entire right side of her body was completely burned and she's utterly disfigured now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtrnuno41 Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Nothing about labor inspection to investigate.?! But guess it wouldnt make any sense. Same as having seat belts in your car and free to transport people in the back of your pick up truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
