(04-19) 13:09 PDT DALY CITY -- A 19-year-old gas-station worker in
Daly City was electrocuted as he was changing a fluorescent light,
an autopsy found Monday.

Mustafa Algazawy of San Francisco was changing a 16-foot-long,
120-volt bulb at the 76 gas station on South Mayfair Avenue when he
was electrocuted about 1:20 p.m. Sunday, said San Mateo County
Coroner Robert Foucrault.

Is there really any such thing as a 16 foot bulb?

Some of those attendants at the convenience stores have long arms.
Wouldn't one have to touch both ends at the same time to be
electrocuted?

Sorry, someone had to say it.

no,you just have to touch the HOT side and be touching some other ground
point. resting one arm on an aluminum ladder sited on the ground could be
enough.
