MONTESANO, Wash. (AP) - Authorities believe a Washington man was killed by accidentally urinating on a downed power line after a car crash.

Grays Harbor County sheriff's Deputy Dave Pimentel (PIM'-en-tel) said Monday 50-year-old Roy Messenger was not seriously hurt after he collided with a power pole Friday and called a relative to pull his car from a ditch.

However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived.

Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire. The urine stream likely served as a conductor, allowing the electricity to reach his body.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.

Didn't Mythbusters do this one, but on the third rail of a subway line? I seem to recall it being plausable but not likely?

Urine contains sodium, so in essence its salt water......

they did..something about how the stream wasn't a constant one, possibly not allowing the travel of electricity through it.... don't remember what they said finally..

all I know is that is one of the worst possible ways to die....
