A man has been pronounced dead in hospital after he was electrocuted outside a commercial building in Richmond Hill on Thursday afternoon. One of the men was rushed to Mackenzie Health without vital signs but was pronounced dead a short time later, police say.
"Four of those patients were extricated in a timely manner," he said. "One of those was transported to hospital with lower leg burns in a serious but stable condition."
The other three were assessed by paramedics at the scene before being released, he said.
The fifth man, aged 24, was unable to be freed from the roof until the electricity to the building was turned off.
"It was a challenging situation to reach the final patient who was still up on the roof," Inspector Cullen said.
"We worked very closely with Fire and Rescue NSW and NSW Police to formulate a plan to make contact with that patient."
Eventually, he said, Fire and Rescue NSW and special operations paramedics "made contact with that patient, and the patient was found to be unfortunately deceased".
Police are now investigating the circumstances led to the incident. A crime scene has been established, and Work Cover NSW officers are assisting with inquiries.
Inspector Cullen said he had been told the patient "was holding some kind of metal pole in his hand, and he’s turned and inadvertently touched some live wires adjacent to the rear of the building".
A report will be prepared for the coroner.
