A Florida man was fatally electrocuted over the weekend when he tried to get a pigeon off a power line.
West Palm Beach resident Elian Garcia-Rivera, 36, was found dead Saturday between a pigeon coup he owned and a chain link fence, police say.
Apparently, Garcia-Rivera had been trying to get an escaped pigeon off a power line by nudging it with a 20-foot-long aluminum pole, according to the police report. The pole touched the line and he was electrocuted.
