Inquiry started into engineer's death in woods
The death of an electricity engineer is under investigation after he was fatally injured in a remote woods.
The 30-year-old man, who has not been named, had been working on an electricity line in woodland near Cawsand, South East Cornwall, when it is understood the accident happened. Police and paramedics were called to the scene, around a mile outside the seaside village, late on Wednesday. The incident happened in woodland just off Pier Lane.
Detectives spent several hours at the scene yesterday as police cordoned off the area where the man is believed to have been working high up an electricity pole.
The wooden pole was yesterday resting on the ground in a part of the woods situated on a steep slope. Protective plastic sheeting had been wrapped around one part, while another appeared to remain stuck in the ground.
