The cause of the electrical current is suspected to be faulty wiring for the pool lights. Investigators believe connections were made from an external source rather than a dedicated pool lighting system. It’s thought that a wire became compromised within the pool, causing the electrocution.
As a large number of locals gathered at the scene, the police arrived and initiated an investigation.
