An Armenian citizen has lost his life as a result of an unfortunate incident in Moscow.

Armenian News-NEWS.am has learned that H. Piloyan, who was born in 1984, died of electrocution on Monday at around 3pm, in the Russian capital city.

The young man, who was originally from Sarahart village in the Lori Province of Armenia, was working on construction in Moscow.

Piloyan, after finishing his work with the crane he was operating, had parked it near a high-voltage electricity utility pole, and started to wash the machine.

The crane rod, however, had started falling down and it touched the electricity cables. As a result, the Armenian youth was electrocuted, and he died on the spot.

H. Piloyan’s body was transferred to his village on Wednesday.
