King William man has died from an accidental electrocution while trying to repair a microwave oven.
Sheriff's Capt. James Nester said today that Charles N. Martin, 28, a farmer, died Monday while working at a farm in the 500 block of Etna Mill Road in the western end of the county, near Hanover Court House.
Nester said Martin was fatally injured while removing the back cover of a microwave oven. The oven had electrical power but apparently was not generating heat, Nester said.
"Even an unplugged microwave can kill you," said Hudson Mulford with Lakeside Appliance in North Side.

PS: The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that four people are electrocuted each year trying to repair their microwave ovens.
