RIP. Soo sorry for the family.
Ohhhh I'm so sorry for your loss God bless you all! 🙏
Such a tragedy!
Even if it's wired right, animals do all sort of damage to their areas.. you never know…
If this isn’t the first time of electrical shock or even if it’s a first time. The common knowledge would be to not have power around water because the obvious result
The poor fish😭😭😭
Anything faulty?????
I've been on boat docks all my life….. SOMETHING IS FAULTY
Oscarville anyone. Black ancestors are not playing around. Its called retribution.
SHOCKING NEWS ⚡⚡⚡
Poor kid . Thoughts for his family 😞
I'm sure there was nothing faulty with the lift system. They are designed to electrocute people.
That type of hazard is also what you call a human honey trap. Usually when the first person gets electrocuted, another will jump in , then another and sometimes another. I'd recommend as a non professional that you should put your finger in the water before jumping in. Maybe docks should have some type of affordable open circuit warning system. If we self police the problem the government won't make it a law to have a device on a dock to notify of charged water. Maybe companies could market a dock that was made for swimming also ,not just boating. The duel use docks could have an electric current detector for water around it.
Cursed lake #oscarville
This lake is cursed. Please don't enter. Unless you have a death wish 💔🙏💔
why is this even happening… no one speaks?
Dock manager is literally blaming them for using their boat like a normal human.
The gaslighting is unreal
I smell some Ozarks going on there, where is Ruth, she's good at this.
This is what happens when you have unlicensed electricians doing work, and not enough oversight
Prayers for the family 😢
Human behaviour KILLS,,,,
Whoever owns or is in charge of that lake should probably be behind bars tbh. One time is an accident. But multiple times to multiple people……that a deliberately set deadly trap, and they should be punished.
