Bennett Rill finished his last day of school at Rachel Carson Middle School on Tuesday and met up with some friends to kick off the summer.
After dinner at a Glory Days Grill, the teens wandered over to an elementary school near the restaurant and decided to climb up onto the roof. At some point, authorities said, Bennett accidentally came into contact with a live wire and was electrocuted.
Bennett, 14, was pronounced dead at the scene. Three other youths suffered injuries not believed to be life threatening.
Humans have lived for Millenia without electricity…I don’t see why we allow this dangerous scourge into our homes! It does NO GOOD!
