Inquiries disclosed that the man’s name was Thomson Thomas Faulkner, of John street. Death had been caused by electrocution, the hands and one shoulder being badly burnt. A length of galvanised fencing wire was coiled round the body, and the loose end must have come in contact with the high tension line. Jt is stated that deceased had been suffering for some time with asthma.—Wellington Press Association telegram.
