[The man was electrocuted by live wire through his left hand](http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/localnews/2011254559_apwaurineelectrocution.html?prmid=related_stories_section) and not from peeing on the live wire. This guy loses by getting out of his car after hitting a power pole which is something people are warned not to do. Never believe the gossip of people that arrive at an accident as factual of the event they didn’t witness.

[Sheldon] Well, you can try to allow for pain-shrinkage and carbonization/char, but without knowledge of prior circumcision, the estimates won’t be within one standard deviation… [/Sheldon]

I’m surprised no one linked to [Cecil’s old column](http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/202/has-anybody-gotten-electrocuted-peeing-on-the-third-rail)on electrocution via peeing on rails. Unless I missed it?
