HANOI (Reuters) - A Vietnamese man who once appeared on national television to demonstrate his ability to resist electric shocks has been electrocuted while repairing a generator, an official said Tuesday.
Nguyen Van Hung, aged in his early 40s, was killed in Tay Ninh province near the Cambodian border while repairing the generator without first cutting the power supply, a local official said.
"When alive, he used to demonstrate at our office how he would insert two fingers into the electrical plughole without problems," the official said.
Hung, nicknamed "Hung Electric," had appeared on television's "Strange Stories of Vietnam."

Nah, just looks like he got unlucky. Maybe it was an accident. Maybe he did use proper technique and safety proceedure.

There's a lot of potential here for hurt emotions.
But some people seem to get a charge out of making fun of death.

Normally I would agree, but come on man.... he didn't cut the power, it is 100% his own fault.

Inductive reasoning shows a lack of resistance--people aren't adequately insulated to it.
