ST JOHN’S – A 34-year old employee of the Antigua Public Utilities Authority (APUA) was electrocuted on Tuesday while assisting with the restoration of electricity following the passage of Hurricane Earl.
A brief statement from APUA confirmed that Colin “Relic” Warner, 34, was part of a four-member crew working in the vicinity of the English Harbour when the incident occurred. APUA said that it would be carrying out an investigation into the matter.
Parliamentary representative for the St Paul constituency, Eleston Adams said that while Warner “was very familiar with the dangers associated with his job, (he) always placed country above . . .”
“Colin died in the service that brought joy and safety to others. All whom he came into contact with will miss him,” he added. (CMC)
