COOPER CITY - A man was electrocuted Saturday while putting up Christmas lights outside his house, officials said.
The man, who was not identified, was found on his front lawn lying on top of an electrical cord connected to Christmas lights.
He was unresponsive when paramedics arrived, said Broward Sheriff's Fire Rescue Capt. Dave Erdman.
He later died at Memorial West Pembroke Hospital, sheriff's spokeswoman Liz Calzadilla told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
The lawn was wet from sprinklers that had been running during the day, Erdman said, but officials were still investigating the cause of the accident.
Cooper City is 10 miles west of Fort Lauderdale.
