POLICE have named the man who died after being electrocuted in an accident at a Hampshire industrial estate.
He was Anthony Marco Milani, 26, of Woolton Hill, Newbury. He died as he was operating a crane near an overhead power cable in West Horton Lane, Fair Oak, on Tuesday.
Witnesses told how the man was thrown almost 10ft by the force of the shock which happened as he was trying to offload building supplies from the back of the lorry in heavy rain.
Despite frantic efforts to save him by two others working on the estate, Mr Milani is understood to have been killed instantaneously.
A post-mortem examination was due to take place at Royal Hampshire County Hospital yesterday. A joint investigation between Hampshire Constabulary and the Health and Safety Executive is under way.
