Con Edison Faces Scrutiny After Dog Electrocuted by Live Wires in NYC
A dog named Skylar was electrocuted by live wires labeled by Con Edison on East 76th Street in New York City, just days after a grandmother died from falling into an open Con Edison manhole. The incident occurred while Skylar was being walked by her owner, Lindsay, who reported that the dog yelped in pain and jumped off the metal cellar doors where the wires were located. Con Edison crews responded to secure the area and repair the damaged cables. The company has not disclosed what caused the damage to the wiring. This incident follows the tragic death of Donike Gocaj, who fell into an open manhole managed by Con Edison, leading to her death from scald burns and blunt force trauma.
