A Prineville man was electrocuted Tuesday at Lakeshore RV Park while he was using a homemade power supply box to burn decorative designs into wood, according to the Crook County Sheriff’s Office.
A person called 911 around 3 p.m. to report finding a man unresponsive on the ground and not breathing. Sheriff’s deputies arrived to find Kyle Johnson, 26, on the ground next to a camp trailer. After deputies disconnected power supplies to the trailer, Crook County Fire & Rescue medics used non-conductive tools to disconnect the remaining power cord and pronounced Johnson dead.
