PRATT, Kan. (AP) – Authorities have identified the Pratt man who was killed after coming into contact with a 7,200-volt power line.

The Pratt County sheriff’s office said Wednesday that 58-year-old Eric Notter, was electrocuted while using a bucket truck near the power line. He was pronounced dead Tuesday at Pratt Regional Medical Center.

This is the second job-related electrocution in Kansas in two days. On Monday, a concrete company employee was killed when a boom on a truck touched an overhead power line in Arkansas City.
