An Arizona man is dead after he was electrocuted while repairing a hot tub at a Phoenix fitness center on Wednesday.
The worker was found dead inside a hot tub at a Life Time athletic club. Investigators said that the tub was almost drained of water but had exposed live electrical wires.
The power was shut off to the entire building in order for first responders to reach the man safely; the victim was pronounced dead at the scene.
Life Time Fitness was closed for the day as investigators processed the scene. In a statement, the business confirmed that the decedent was a professional contractor and that he died while doing maintenance work at the center.
“Our heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with the family,” the company said in a statement.
