During a sailing maneuvre the mast of the boat was brought into contact with a high-voltage transmission line; the metal parts of the boat caused a ground connection into the water. At first, the four men on board the boat attempted to interrupt the flow of electric current. In doing so, one of them got into the electric circuit and became unconscious. A second sailer jumped into the water, in order to save his unconscious colleague by pulling him ashore. This attempt, however, was not successful. Only the bodies of the two sailors could be recovered by divers. The forensic findings concerning each of the two bodies, as well as the results of an on-the-spot examination done with the help of the two survivors of the accident, are discussed with emphasis on the electrophysical laws related to the causes of death.
在一次航行操作中，船的桅杆与高压输电线接触；船的金属部件导致接地进入水中。起初，船上的四名男子试图中断电流。在此过程中，其中一人进入电路并失去意识。另一名船员跳入水中，试图将失去意识的同事拉上岸来救他。然而，这次尝试没有成功。只有两名船员的尸体被潜水员找到。讨论了关于这两具尸体的法医检查结果，以及在事故的两名幸存者帮助下进行的现场勘查结果，重点是与死亡原因相关的电物理定律。
