ELECTRIC SHOCK DROWNINGS

1. July 28,2007 Lake of The Ozarks, MO Twenty four year old female attempted to exit the water using a metal ladder at the end of a private dock. She apparently experienced a paralyzing electric shock which caused her to fall back into the water and drown. Several people had reported being shocked by the ladder and the dock owner had gone to shut the power off. The dock power wiring termination was found submerged under the dock near the exit point.
2. July 24, 2006 Lake Lanier, Cumming, GA. Seventeen year old boy in water near a private dock, working on a jet ski with two friends, was overcome by electric shock. Extension cord with damaged insulation caused the metal dock to become energized. Friends also shocked, and partially disabled, could not help their friend. Father of victim fought paralyzing shock and pulled unconscious son away from dock – he could not be resuscitated. Investigation planned.
3. July 14, 2006 River Street Marina, Port Huron, MI. A 20 year old man jumped, or fell, into the water from the pier behind a 29’ boat, moored stern too. He became disabled as he attempted to climb onto the swim platform. Two friends attempting to pull him onboard reported being shocked. He could not be resuscitated. Shock induced ventricular fibrillation likely cause of death. The next day an inspector reported 107vac in the water behind the boat – measuring points not known at this time. Investigation in progress.
4. June 24, 2006 Brady Mountain Resort, Lake Ouachita, AR. A 14 year old boy died from electric shock while swimming near a houseboat. A friend was also shocked and taken to a hospital and released. A man jumped in to help and was rendered unconscious (reason unknown, he was unharmed after regaining consciousness). The cause appeared to be inserting a shore cord with a 30A/125V (L5-30) plug (with the grounding pin bent back) into a 50A-125/250V receptacle in such a way so as to energize the neutral, which was connected to the bonding system, thereby energizing the hull.
5. June 10, 2006 Lake Michigan, Racine Harbor, WI. A 56 year old man was killed when he went swimming from the stern platform of a boat. Inquest listed death as "Accidental Electrocution" and did not establish a root cause. Victim's wife stated that the Reverse Polarity light flickered on and went out when power applied to vessel. Comment: A reverse polarity situation along with a grounded neutral can energize underwater metals on a boat.
6. May 22, 2006 Weiss Lake, Cherokee County, AL. A 24 year old young man was killed while in the water near a pier. He was attempting to rescue his friend who had become paralyzed by an electric shock while trying to exit the water via a metal ladder. Another friend was also disabled by shock as he entered the water to assist. The two young men, who were shocked, were not seriously injured. There was an electric windmill on a metal tower attached to the ladder, and was apparently powered by an incorrectly modified extension cord, and which may have been connected to a non-functioning GFCI outlet. A bystander on the dock pulled the power cord just in time, or there may have been two more victims. Investigation underway.
7 Mar 19, 2006 Summerset Lake near Desoto, St. Louis, MO. A teenage boy was killed when he received an electrical shock while swimming toward a metal ladder at a dock on the lake. Three other teens (2 boys and a girl) were with him, and all received electric shocks in the same area. One teen was uninjured; while the other 2 were in critical condition at a hospital (these 2 were unconscious on the dock when rescuers arrived). There is an electric boat lift and lighting on the dock but the cause is not yet known. The water level may have risen up to an electrical junction box under the dock. A rep from the local utility found 10 amps of current running into the dock with no loads turned on. There was a chain leading into the water where arcing, a dead muskrat, and 10 dead minnows were observed.
8. June 27, 2005 Scott’s Creek Marina at Cave Run Lake, Moorhead, KY. A 19 year old girl drowned, while in the water near a houseboat, due to electric shock caused by a battery charger in the engine compartment which had become partially submerged and energized the hull. Owner had rewired the boat with no bonding system. Another girl sustained burns on her legs while reaching into the water to help the victim. A nearby rescuer swam toward the scene and was shocked and paralyzed by the electrical field. Only two feet from the victim he had to turn around and swim out of the field to survive.
9. Sept. 2004 Lake Of The Ozarks, MO 22 year old male stepped on an electrical cable upon exiting the water after swimming behind a private residence – fell face down into water unconscious – could not be revived. No information on cable.
10. Sept. 12, 2004 Ross Barnett Reservoir, Ridgeland, MS. A 16 yr old boy was swimming in the marina when he approached a houseboat. He screamed as if in pain and disappeared under the water. He could not be revived after divers recovered his body. A friend in the water also felt a shocking sensation. The cause was a home made shore cord, hard wired to the panel which was passed through a hole in sheet metal siding with no chafe protection. The insulation was cut by boat motion and shorted the hot conductor to the siding. The siding was not adequately grounded to the shore grounding system but was connected to the boat’s bonding system, which caused the hull to go up in potential killing the boy.
11. Aug 8, 2004 Lake Travis, Austin, TX. Young man, in good health, swimming, in evening, unobserved, between two sections of marina dock – disappeared. Came to surface two days later. No toxic substance found on post mortem, but Joule marks (electrical contact points) found on right wrist and left leg and shin. Suspected electric shock drowning. Accident under investigation. (See follow-up, last page)
12. June 19, 2004 Lake Waccamaw, NC Ten year old boy drowned while swimming with friends near a private dock boat lift that had just been raised from the water. An adult reported a heavy shock when touching the lift and several children in the water reported being shocked. Victim was noticed motionless face down nearby – could not be revived. Lift frame had become energized and the bonding conductor from the supply panel was not connected.
13. June 5, 2004 Lake Wylie, Charlotte, NC. Two young boys swimming at bow of houseboat called for help. Father of victim and friend rushed forward – boy on ladder said he was being shocked, other boy in water not moving. Friend rushed aft to pull shore cord as father went onto water – his son could not be resuscitated. May not be exact sequence. Causes of energized hull were substantial errors in wiring on the dock as well as on the boat, apparently done by non qualified individuals.
14. Aug 3, 2003 Bull Shoals Lake, Bull Shoals, AR. Diver found Aug. 5 in shallow water 8 ft. from his dock, drowned. Incorrectly wired dock junction box caused 117 VAC to appear on metal dock components. Rescue diver reported feeling shock sensation 20 ft. from dock!
15. June, 2003 Allatoona Lake, GA. Six wildlife fatalities (ducks!!) Houseboat pulled away from the dock and still connected shore power cord separated in middle and fell into water. Six dead ducks found floating nearby.
16. May, 2003 Cape Coral, Florida. Double drowning, section of re-bar driven through power cable to back yard boat lift caused line potential to appear on lift frame, salt water. Ventricular fibrillation likely cause of death – not confirmed.
17. May 31, 2002 Lake Cumberland, Monticello, KY. Double drowning, fault on houseboat, fresh water. 125V plug at boat end of shore cord rewired by owner for 220V – L2 connected to “GR” pin - ground lead in 4 wire cord cut and taped off! Hull rose to line potential.
18. March, 2002 Bay Marina Boat Works, Biloxi, MS. Some electrical work had recently been done at this yard, which resulted in reverse polarity connections at the shore cord receptacles for the stored boats. Over a short time period several boat owners reported being shocked as they worked on their boats, and one owner was electrocuted. The possibly of a missing ground combined with a ground- neutral connection on the lethal boat was not investigated.
19. Sept.15, 2001 Farr Shores, Lake Hamilton, Hot Springs, AR. Girl in great distress, man attempting rescue drowns, ground fault on boat, fresh water.
20. June 6, 2001 Residence, Timber Ridge Dr., Dumfries, VA, Lake Montclair. Two young boys entered water near pontoon boat. Battery chargers (2) connected to modified extension cord from house. Electric shock drowning – cause of energized hull not reported.
21. May, 2001 New Orleans, Electrocution – Boy using conveyor to transfer shrimp – no ground, salt water.
22. Apr 10, 2001 Norris Lake, Lafollette, TN. Two teenage boys swimming behind house boat. One boy climbed onto swim platform complaining of feeling severe shock – other boy fell back from ladder– his head not below water (ventricular fibrillation?). Could not be resuscitated. Damaged power cable to boat, black lead energized hull, ground wire burned in two – breaker did not trip due to incorrect connection (may not be exact sequence).
23. 2000 or 2001 Put-in-Bay, Ohio, Grand Banks 42. Owner’s prescription sunglasses went overboard. Young bystander disappeared while trying to retrieve glasses, electric shock drowning.
24. Sept.30, 2000 Tims Ford Lake, Winchester, TN. Two boys (21&22). Electric shock drowning. Rescue diver felt electric shock Live wire in water near dock.
25. Aug 1, 1999 Multnomah Channel, Portland, OR. 8yr old boy tubing with friends in freshwater marina along slow moving river. Boy decides to swim to dock (was wearing type 3 life vest). Suddenly he rolled over on back near the stern of a boat. Mother enters water and helps get boy on dock (she felt tingle in water). Diagnosed as electrocution (head was above water almost all the time). Cause was AC to DC short on boat and no connection between AC ground and DC ground. 84vac measured behind stern upon subsequent investigation.
26. July, 1999 Lake Mohave, AZ. Young man swimming toward stern of a house boat became disabled and drowned, fresh water. Boat had a neutral-ground bond. Home made shore cord “Y” became partly disconnected causing hull to become energized. 17vac measured behind stern-drive.
27. July18, 1999 Cedar hill Lake, Smithville, TN. Two young boys, with flotation devices, were discovered in water, face down, a few feet behind a houseboat. 7 year old could not be revived. 8 year old recovered. Electric shock drowning suspected.
28. July, 1999 S. Carolina, single drowning – 3 feet of water, woman in great distress, husband attempts rescue and drowns, fresh water.
29. Approx. 1999 Rio Vista, CA. Several boys reported a tingle while swimming in this fresh water marina and got out of the water. A short time later two other boys, 8 – 10 years old, drowned at the same spot. Forty-year-old power wiring running under moored boats found to have substantial fault to ground because of insulation failure.
30. Sept., 1998 Lake Sonoma, CA. Single drowning, young girl in great distress, fault on dock, fresh water.
