Watch where you point that thing.

Last Friday night Roy Messenger crashed his car into a utility pole, knocking it down and ending up in a ditch. Miraculously, the 50-year-old Elma, Washington man was uninjured. He climbed out of his car and called a relative to help him get it out of the ditch. But when his family finally made it to the scene, Messenger was dead.

So what happened? A deputy with the Grays Harbor County Sheriff's office says that Messenger must have relieved himself in the ditch while waiting for his family. He likely died after urinating on the live power line he’d downed. Though an official autopsy will confirm the cause of death, it’s apparently clear that the burn marks show where and how the electricity entered Messenger's body.

Pretty shitty way to go, if you ask me.
