A 46-year-old Kalaheo man was electrocuted Wednesday morning at a home construction site in Lawai.

The Kauai County Police Department has identified the man as Gary Wiser, a contractor who was working at the site on Hailima Road at 10 a.m., when the incident occurred. Shortly before the electrocution, Wiser was assisting a crane operator with moving roofing frames off the roadway and onto the home’s property.

According to reports, Wiser was standing on the ground and holding a cable connected to the crane’s boom when he was apparently electrocuted by an overhead power line. Wiser collapsed, and bystanders administered CPR until firefighters and medics arrived.

Medics transported Wiser to Wilcox Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Foul play is not suspected as the cause of his death. An autopsy is pending.

Police spokeswoman Sarah Blane said officers are continuing to investigate the incident.
