Man electrocuted while attempting to break into business, officials say

MILWAUKEE —Medical officials in Milwaukee believe a man was electrocuted while trying to break into a business, possibly to steal copper.

Paramedics were called to Greer Tire at 6550 N. 40th St. after an employee noticed a man hanging over the roof of the building.

"There was a man slumped over the edge of the roof, right by where the electrical connections are coming in," Pat Greer said.

Greer described the terrifying scene that workers came upon early this week at his north side tire wholesale business.

"He was leaning over the cap at the time with the wire cutters in his hands and had been electrocuted," Greer said.

Fire Department officials believed the man may have been attempting to cut the business security system wire and was electrocuted in the process. Authorities suspect the victim may have been on the roof to steal copper wiring.
