The deceased was electrocuted in his store during a heavy downpour Sunday, May 22, 2022 afternoon.

An eyewitness narrating how the incident occurred explained that the container store of the deceased has bare wires on the roof and since the container is metallic and it had rained, immediately he touched the container he was electrocuted and died instantly.
