If he had followed the cord , he would have found a plug on the end and just pulled it out .What a muppet.

Yeah I figured that too. What I wonder is if he had done that already and they had just put it back and carried on partying.
"Screw this, I'll cut the cord!"
But, really hacked off, at 1am, forgets to unplug first.
Maybe.

"His death has been referred to the coroner."
Sheesh, the coroners must get sick of having crap like this referred to them. What are they supposed to say in the report?
"Ummmmmm, urrrrrrrr, ummmmm, he ummmmm well he ummm. Arrrrgh HE BLOODY WELL CUT THOUGH A LIVE POWER CORD WITH HIS BARE HANDS AND SOME PLIERS FFS " LOL.

More ironic in the updated article?
The kids were listening to a battery powered music player, so the music didn't even stop. They found the guy later when they went to check why the lights didn't work.

On the other hand good on him for trying to stop their F$%(ing noise! First call should've been ask the campground manager to shut them up. then unplug and cut the cord. Sad to die for such a pathetic reason.

Most caravan parks have their power circuits on RCDs now. If that camp had then he would not have received a fatal shock. We used to stay at another camp at the same beach. Looking to go to this camp but our caravan is self contained and we wont be plugging into the 240 volt system. Beautiful spot though. Very sad. "Momentary loss of reason."

Maybe. They ain't idiot proof.

Actually he did find a plug and pulled it out before attempting to cut the cord.
Only problem was he unplugged it from the caravan - not from the powerbox.
This tells you what the victim did for a job. Words fail me. .

They say you shouldn't go anywhere without your Leatherman. Maybe it's best left at home.

I'm guessing professional experience gave him a healthy dose of "screw this, I know what I'm doing. "

You did wonder if it was a Journo just taking the urine, but the employer was named. Likewise comments like "The power supply to the van was estimated to be in the region of 240 volts" Well who would have thought that.

Understandable for someone in a sleep-deprived rage - other peoples' effing music gets inside your head in a way few other annoyances can.
Might have been more sensible to unplug the cord first and then cut the plug off. ?
