According to the coroner Randy Magdalinski the light Allen Smith was using gave him trouble and then came in contact with some water causing the plumber to get electrocuted. There was no mention so far if a GFI device was being used on the end of the light.

The Fine folks from the Clay Fire Territory and the Roseland police department responded, with the members of the fire department’s Tactical Rescue Team to pull Allen out of the crawl space.

Our Hearts here at WeT HeaD Media go out to Allen’s Family & Friends.
