SOFIA (Reuters) - A Bulgarian who dipped his hands into a popular public fountain in central Sofia was electrocuted because of faulty insulation in the fountain's lights and pump, the news agency FOCUS quoted prosecutors as saying Thursday.

The death of 33-year-old Veselin Petrov late Wednesday has spurred authorities into ordering rapid checks of other fountains in the Bulgarian capital, FOCUS said.

Other people in the Bulgarian capital had reported receiving shocks from the recently opened fountain but no action had been taken, the news agency added.

Could've been worse. He could've jumped into it naked.

Still, a tragedey.

That is really the bad of the guys who wired it., I hope its charged as man slaughter.

Poor guy, I do indeed hope those who were responsible for the wiring have action taken against them.
Now I`m going to look at every fountain I see suspiciously!
