A man working on the roof of a Duluth home died after he was electrocuted.
Duluth police say the incident happened around 10:30 Thursday morning. Their initial investigation shows that a roofer was climbing a ladder on North 17th Avenue East that had a metal rain gutter and that the metal section came into contact with a power line, electrocuting him.
A police spokesperson says the man was transported to a local hospital where they were pronounced dead.
His name won’t be released until next of kin is notified.
