A 70-year-old man was electrocuted in his flooded house in Chiang Rai’s Mae Sai district early Saturday.

 

Police said the man’s one-storey home in Ban Pa Muad Santisuk was hit by shallow flooding. As he tried to pull an extension cord plug from a wall, he suffered a shock and lost consciousness.

 

Doctors pronounced him dead on arrival at Mae Sai Hospital.
