title: [Satellite dish as source of electric current. Case report of a fatal and nearly fatal accident at the work site].
abstract: The authors report on an initially unrecognized fatal accident caused by electric current at the place of work. The source of the current was a satellite dish which had been improperly connected to an old music box with subsequent connection to the household electrocution system (220 V, 50 Hz). Only when a second nearly fatal accident occurred, proper diagnosis and detection of the uncommon source of the electric current was made.
