PRATT, Kan. (AP) – Authorities have identified the Pratt man who was killed after coming into contact with a 7,200-volt power line.
The Pratt County sheriff’s office said Wednesday that 58-year-old Eric Notter, was electrocuted while using a bucket truck near the power line. He was pronounced dead Tuesday at Pratt Regional Medical Center.
