Morvin man electrocuted putting up TV antenna




A Morvin man was electrocuted Friday when a television antenna he was erecting fell into some power lines.

Alvin Cowan was apparently killed instantly in what Steve Carlisle of the Clarke County Sheriff’s Department called a “freak accident.”

Carlisle said the wind was blowing and it looked like it may have pushed the antenna toward the lines.

Family members were at home and called for assistance.

The accident happened about mid-afternoon, Officer Carlisle said.
