LOUISVILLE – A Magoffin County man was fatally injured while working as a line technician in Louisville following recent storms.
Jameson Taton Bryant Hall, 29 years old, of Salyersville, was working for Pike Enterprises as a contract laborer for LG&E & KU in Louisville. The Jefferson County coroner confirmed to local news stations in that region that Hall died as a result of electrocution.
LG&E and KU Media Relations Manager and Spokesperson Daniel K.

We are working with Pike to thoroughly investigate the accident that took place.”
