After a night of drinking, Zachary McKee jumped down into the railway tracks of the Chicago “L” Railway to take a leak and fell over and fried his dumb ass on the electrified 3rd rail. Those 600 Volts of direct current probably cooked his internal organs instantly.

From CBS here:

An Indiana man died overnight, after coming into contact with the electrified third rail as he urinated on the Purple Line ‘L’ tracks in Evanston.

The man was at the South Boulevard Purple Line stop around 11 p.m. Sunday with two other people when he came into contact with the third rail.

The man, Zachary McKee, 27, of Ossian, Ind., was pronounced dead at Saint Francis Hospital in Evanston at 11:52 p.m.

McKee had climbed down to the tracks to urinate when he fell onto the third rail.

The program “Mythbusters” has concluded that urinating directly onto the third rail is unlikely to cause death in itself. In fact, some purported cases of such deaths are actually believed to have involved direct bodily contact with the rail, as appears to be the case in the Sunday night incident.

Hey, how ’bout that shout out to the MythBusters for the death of this dude?

DailyMail proves he was drunky drunk-drunk.

According to McKee’s Twitter page, he had travelled to Evanston to watch a Chicago Cubs baseball game at Wrigley Field.

He was staying with friends in Chinatown and was enjoying a weekend of heavy drinking.
