I can hear a sad scratchy Edith Piaf record playing as I look at those pics.
La tragédie!

I see we have a criminal mastermind there. Cops need to be on the lookout for someone with no eyebrows.

Two electrocuted while trying to steal copper wiring at north Phoenix sports field

PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - A man and a woman are dead after they were electrocuted while trying to steal copper wires in a north Phoenix neighborhood Wednesday. It happened just before 6 a.m. at a field at the Rose Mofford Sports Complex near 23rd Avenue and Cheryl Drive, which is south of Peoria Avenue. When first responders arrived, they found the two unidentified victims dead. The pair had touched in-ground electrical wires while trying to steal the copper, police said.
APS says the equipment is in a hard-to-access area and someone would have to really make an effort to access the wires. Nearly 150 people who live in the area were briefly without power. Phoenix police now investigating. The Medical Examiner’s Office will look into the cause of death.

Can that happen at exactly the same time? If you and another person are reaching for something, and the other person suddenly fries, isn't the impulse to withdraw? I'm thinking this is a Special Darwin Award.

^Saved the Florida taxpayers a lot of money.
In 2000, Smith’s aspiration was realized when the Florida Legislature passed a law allowing motorcyclists over 21 to go without head protection as long as they had $10,000 in insurance coverage for motorcycle accident injuries.
$10K wouldn't even cover the ER visit, much less any follow-up care they would have needed if they survived.

If I recall correctly, the Arizona Helmet Law 'test' (in the mid 70's?) demonstrated that the helmet unquestionably saved lives.
But the lives saved were replaced by broken necks resulting in quadriplegics.
So the question was would you rather be dead or a vegetable and a burden on your family and society. We know, of course, that quadriplegics are not necessarily "vegetables" - but that is how the question was framed by anti-helmet lobbyists at the time.

A Colorado man is dead after a pet Gila monster bite
Ward's girlfriend told police she had heard something that “didn't sound right” and entered a room to see Winston latched onto Ward's hand, according to Crookston's report.
She told officers Ward “immediately began exhibiting symptoms, vomiting several times and eventually passing out and ceasing to breathe,” according to the report.
Ward was placed on life support in a hospital. Within days, doctors had declared him brain dead.
Twenty-six spiders of different species also were taken from the home to a nearby animal shelter.

^^^^^ That might be the first recorded death from a Gila Monster bite. They have to latch on a long time to get enough venom in a human.
