Eduardo Cruz de Jesus, aged 51, tragically lost his life after suffering an electric shock on Wednesday, the 25th, while performing maintenance work on a roof on Genário Lobão Street in Valença, Bahia, located 180 km from Feira de Santana. Preliminary reports from the Civil Police indicate that Eduardo was carrying out repairs on a residential roof when he encountered an electric shock, causing him to fall onto the roof of a neighboring property.

Emergency services, including the Military Fire Brigade, were promptly notified, but unfortunately, by the time they arrived, Eduardo was already pronounced dead. Authorities from the Technical Police Department (Departamento de Polícia Técnica) were contacted to conduct a forensic examination and oversee the removal of the body. The 1st Territorial Delegation in Valença has documented the incident as a workplace accident but intends to continue the investigation to elucidate the precise circumstances surrounding the tragedy.

This heartbreaking incident underscores the dangers associated with electrical work, particularly when proper safety measures are not adhered to. The ongoing investigation by the police will aim not only to determine the cause of the accident but also to ensure accountability and possibly highlight the need for improved safety regulations in the workplace to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
