snoop1130 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Eight-year-old boy electrocuted to death in school By The Nation A young student at Lampang’s Chumchonbanmai School succumbed to injuries on Monday (July 13) after being electrocuted by a high-voltage Internet connection box that had been installed in the campus by government authorities. Though police arrived as soon as they were notified of the accident, they were unable to save the eight-year-old boy. His body was sent to Lampang Hospital for autopsy and doctors confirmed he had died from electrocution. The boy’s parents are demanding that the school take responsibility for the incident and investigate the real reason behind their son’s death.

What were the teachers doing in the meantime before the police arrived I wonder? Surely they should be trying CPR.

Is this the initial shock, or do they think there's something else happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a term used by reporters who don't know what they're on about. Won't have more than 220V mains to it. Unless you're using reporters' logic: A high power (long range) Wi-Fi router must need a 132Kv supply. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrnuno41 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Still they dont get it. Why would you ground the installation? Cant see the bottom of the installation. But never the less then the resistance is too high and the boy too low. If it is grounded, they did wrong , false safety again. Placed at wrong spot, too open for everybody. Why not use a non metal box. OK , its Thailand still not aware of the danger of electricity. Or why would you use an RCBO? It could already have been switched off before the accident. Boy could have been alive. If you dont know how to do CPR then you cant do it. How many Thai people, or in any other country, know how to do it right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
