Tragedy Strikes Texas Church - Pastor Electrocuted in Baptistry

In Texas, tragedy struck the congregation of University Baptist Church when the church's lead pastor, Reverend Kyle Lake, was electrocuted as his hand made contact with a wired microphone connected to the church's audio system while standing waist-deep in the church's baptistery.

The cause of the accident was a faulty water heater in the baptismal coupled with a lack of proper grounding and fault protection of the electrical supply to the baptismal heater and pump.

The following article evaluates how an incident like this can occur and includes an important safety checklist everyone should use when working with sound systems.

  • NOW it`s explained... on the first run of this, the available data was non technical and incomplete to form an opinion. I`d only suggest that an `updated` label should be put on the newsletter`s subject.
