(Source: Video WBRC) Drowning by electric shock is known as a silent killer. This can happen in an instant if you do not check things in your dock.
We found that David Butler cleaned his dock on Friday and prepared for the Memorial Day weekend at Smith Lake in Cullman. He expects the weather to cooperate. He also checks the electrical work around his dock to make sure he does not affect or aggravate the floats. He knows the people who happened.
"That man's wife got him out of the water and he was surprised and luckily did not surprise him because he lay on the floor," said Butler.
In 2016, Carmen Johnson, 15, died of swimming with her friends on Smith Lake. His parents say his death was caused by a drowned electric shock. A year later, two women died on Lake Tuscaloosa. Investigators cause their deaths by drowning.
US Coast Guard UU and other agencies are encouraging docks owners to inspect their docks by an electrician. When people swim near the dock, it's best to close the dock to be sure. You can also install warning systems such as the Lifeguard Dock. Detects if power from the dock is in the surrounding water.
Drowning by electric shock causes a muscle blockage in which you can not swim and cause drowning. If you are tingling, swim away from the pier and not towards it.
