Default OT ish Darwin Award

First call of my daughters shift today was 'stabbing in Thamesmead tower
block, police on scene'. Not an uncommon call for that area.

She got there to find it was accidental. A mains powered smoke alarm had
been beeping and the victim decided to cut the cable feeding it. It was
live and he used metal scissors!

The electric shock caused him to react violently and he stabbed himself in
the leg with the scissors - twice!
