Third rail electrocution

[High Voltage]

A man lying on the rails in New York faking electrocution at first, but when his elbow hits the running rail while holding the third rail he is grounded out and is electrocuted to death. There is some nice arcing from the elbow touching the the running rail.

Very good video thank you. Did you find out how old he was?

I don't remember off the top of my head, I'll have to look through my info about it.

I don't remember off the top of my head, I'll have to look through my info about it.

A man was killed when he came into contact with the third rail while crossing the subway tracks in Manhattan on Sunday morning and was then struck by a train, cops said.

The 31-year-old was walking across the No. 6 subway tracks at Lexington Avenue and East 51st Street around 8:30 a.m. when he touched the electrified rail, police said.

I believe this is the info for the third rail electrocution. I do not any photos from the train hit.
