LUCERNE, Calif. — Authorities have identified a Northshore man who died last week after being electrocuted in an incident involving a powerline.

Steven Michael Green, 36, of Nice died in the incident on Nov. 7, said Lauren Berlinn, spokesperson for the Lake County Sheriff’s Office.

Shortly after 5:15 p.m. Nov. 7, Northshore Fire was dispatched to the area of Sandy Beach mobile home park in Lucerne on the report of a possible fatal electrocution, with CPR in progress, according to radio traffic.

“The initial investigation revealed he was attempting to dislodge a drone from a tree using an aluminum pole while standing on an aluminum ladder when the pole touched a powerline close to the tree,” Berlinn said.

“First responders attempted life-saving measures for close to 30 minutes, which were unfortunately unsuccessful,” Berlinn added.
