The man, who worked for a «third-party provider» of services for the store, was performing work on a light fixture located in the rear of the Target, in the warehouse area, according to a statement from the County Sheriff’s Office obtained by Wink News.

Apparently, the incident occurred at dawn, since a colleague of the employee who was electrocuted, had gone to get him tools and water around 4:30 am. When he returned around 6:30 am, the victim did not respond to his calls.

The worker was still at the top of a lift, so the victim’s co-worker had to lower him down when he received no response. The man was deceased when he was brought down, according to Wink News. No additional details were provided about how he was electrocuted.

Additionally, Officer Carmine Marceno of the Lee County Sheriff’s Office said the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is also investigating the terrifying accident at the Fort Myers Target. Filed Under: Target Employee Dies Electrocuted
