Tragic Video! Man touches livewire at railway station; dies

In a horrifying and tragic incident, a man was instantly burnt to death after touching a high voltage electricity wire at Majestic railway station in Bengaluru. The video that has gone viral on social media reportedly shows him threatening to commit suicide after climbing on top of a train at the railway station.

According to Times Now News, the man who climbed on top of the train touches the electricity wire overhead and in an instant, one can see sparks flying after a loud bang as the man is charred by the high voltage current zapping through his body. Soon after the man dropped dead on the roof of the train, locals in the video can be heard expressing regret over his actions and saying that he was electrocuted. 

Media reports further states that, there were a lot of onlookers around in the area but instead of trying to dissuade him from taking the extreme step, some simply made videos of the incident and watched him die.
