A man believed to be a street beggar in his 20s, got electrocuted after
scaling an electric pole ahead of a speech by suspended Brazilian
president Dilma Rousseff. The unnamed victim, who was wearing just a
pair of beach shorts, appeared to be entertaining the crowd, as they
waited for at the political rally in Aracaju, Brazil. After spending
several minutes clinging to the pole and waving a flag, he ignored
warnings from bystanders to get down and climbed further up the pole
towards the danger area where the electricity cables were attached.

There was a sudden huge flash, with sparks flying as
he was electrocuted before falling to the ground. He suffered a heart
attack & head injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital, but died
on the way.
