MERIDEN, Kan. (AP) — A man has died after he climbed a high tension line and was electrocuted.

Jefferson Co. Sheriff Jeff Herrig told WIBW-TV that 21-year-old Nathan Robertson of Valley Falls died Saturday in Meriden.

Herrig says the Rock Creek Fire Dept. and Jefferson County crews responded to calls Saturday night of a man on the ground.

Robertson was reported to be climbing the high tension line of the tower and was electrocuted. He then fell several stories, landing on the ground.

He was transported to St. Francis Hospital, but declared deceased almost immediately after his fall.
