Death comes through eye: a rare case of electrocution.

Bansi Dhar Gupta1, O Gambhir Singh, Rahul A Mehta.   

Abstract

Injury and death from electric current although rare, are not uncommon. In majority of the fatalities, death usually results from accidental contact with a live wire, both in industrial and domestic circumstances. The entry wound is usually in the hand or foot, with the exit wound being in the opposite hand or foot touching the earth (or the ground). Rarely, due to a unique position of the body and circumstances, they may be seen on head, face, neck, mouth, lips, body trunk, etc. However, here we present a unique site of electrocution, the eye, which has probably never been reported before. This case was also accidental in nature.
