The 28-year-old is evolving favourably. “He set himself on fire,” said his aunt. His family reports a fault in a power cable.
A 28-year-old man was admitted to intensive care in Rosario after leaning on the balcony railing and receiving an electric shock that burned his entire body.
The episode, which miraculously did not end in tragedy, occurred last Friday night, although it only came out this Thursday. The victim had gone to visit a friend who lives in an apartment located in Moreno at 6,000.
“As the friend had just come home from work, he told him that he was going to take a shower and he asked for a chair to stay on the balcony looking at his motorcycle. When she sat down, he rested his arm on the railing and caught fire, ”said the victim’s aunt in dialogue with Rosario 3.
Seeing what was happening, the owner of the house tried to help him, but when he touched him he received a strong shock that threw him backwards and caused minor injuries to his face and one of his arms.

Medical personnel arrived at the scene, assisted the young man and transferred him to the Provincial hospital, where he remains in intensive care. “Luckily he is doing well, the respirator has already been removed and he is breathing on his own,” said his aunt.
The doctors at the hospital are considering referring him to the Clemente Álvarez Emergency Hospital, which has an area specifically dedicated to the care of people who suffered burns.
Meanwhile, the young man’s family denounces that the accident occurred due to a fault in a cable of the Provincial Energy Company.
After the incident, the area was without power and maintenance personnel had to work to restore the service.
