Police have identified the electrocution victim as 30 year old Robert Travis Eakin of Bristol. Now police want to know if he was alone when he was electrocuted.
Police say Eakin was found at the Ohio Edison substation in Gustavus Township Monday morning. Damage from the cut wires caused a power surge which touched off more than a dozen small fires in homes and shut power down to 2000 customers.
Sherry Greskovich, who lives in Gustavus, said, "I heard a pop. The computer started to glow, unplugged everything and started to smell smoke in the house."
Paul Mercer from Andover said, "She [mother] heard popping and then the TV went boom and we went downstairs and the other TV went boom."
All power has been restored to those homes. If it's discovered anyone else was involved, they could face charges.
