His name was Brian Lau. He was 35. He had a wife and a one year old child. He was a friendly guy who got along with everyone.

He was hit with an arc of electricity from a cable that crossed with one of his cables. 7,500v.

There are people placing flowers and messages down on the spot where he landed.

This accident was preventable. For a mere $500, the electricity could have been shut off had BC Hydro known they were working in the area.

What a waste.
