INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — A 22-year-old Sebastian man was electrocuted and killed Tuesday after performing electrical work under a manufactured home in Village Green, Indian River County Fire Rescue said.
The accident happened shortly before 1 p.m. Tuesday. Matthew F. Cummings, who wasn’t licensed or insured for electrical work, was hired by a homeowner on North 26th Street to do the electrical work, said Fire Marshal Brian Nolan. Cummings, of the 100 block of Keystone Drive, was cutting wiring underneath the trailer when he was electrocuted, Nolan said.
“They thought they had cut off the power to the area he was working,” Nolan said.
Paramedics arrived and performed CPR on Cummings, who was taken to Indian River Medical Center and pronounced dead, Nolan said.
