One dead, one injured in electrocution near Benbrook, officials say

An electrocution near Benbrook early Friday afternoon left a man dead and a woman hospitalized in stable condition, authorities said.

First responders were dispatched at 1:10 p.m. to the 9100 block of Benview Court near Benbrook Lake, according to the Tarrant County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies encountered a man and a woman who had been shocked by a power source in the backyard. Authorities say the man was taken by a Benbrook Fire Department ambulance to a local hospital in critical condition, where he was pronounced dead. The woman was transported by a Fort Worth Fire Department ambulance in stable condition. She received minor injuries and is recovering.

Oncor eliminated power to the property, officials say.

"Tarrant County criminal investigators are working to determine how the victims came into contact with the power source," the sheriff's office said.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's Office will release the victim's name and cause of death.
