Pool electrocution has taken another life.
65-year old Carl McGrady was starting to clean his pool in Florence, Ala., on May 19, when he entered the electrified water. Seeing his father in distress and not realizing the water was electrified, McGrady’s son Lucas jumped in to help and became seriously injured. Pam McGrady – Carl’s wife and Lucas’ mother – was injured, too, as she tried to help her son pull the patriarch from the water, according to local television station WHNT.
The cause of the incident is under investigation. First responders told WHNT that the son began to feel electrical shock as he was trying to get his father to the pool deck. Calls to the Florence Police Department have not been returned at press time.
