boldikus Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-turkey-electrocuted-pool-20170623-story.html Five people, including two teenagers and a 12-year-old, died Friday after being electrocuted at a water park pool in northwest Turkey, Turkish media reports said. The three children were caught up in an electrical current in the pool in the town of Akyazi, in Sakarya province, the state-run Anadolu Agency reported. The park's manager and his son were killed when they dived into the pool to try to save the flailing children, according to the private Dogan news agency. All five were rushed to a hospital in Akyazi, but could not be saved. Anadolu said a sixth person was also hospitalized with injuries but did not provide further details. Private NTV television said the children were aged 12, 15 and 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestCoasterKing Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Ugh, how the hell does something like that happen??? Probably bad wiring on and in pool light fixture. This kind of thing happens occasionally here in the US in home pools where a light got broken or just plain old. That's why most states no longer allow in pool lights.
