Man is found dead inside the mechanical room of the Funasa building, in Rio Branco | Acre

A man was found dead, by a security guard, inside the engine room of the National Health Foundation (Funasa) building, in Rio Branco, on Monday morning (25). The corpse was decomposing and the suspicion is that the death occurred between four and five days before the discovery.

A team from Rede Amazônica Acre was at the site and found that last Thursday (21), the transformer at the site tripped and Energisa Acre was activated. The equipment, which is located at the front of the building, was evaluated and the service was normalized.

On Monday morning, the security guard was making rounds at the back of the building when he smelled a strong smell, went to the high voltage power house and saw the small door broken open. When looking inside, the server saw the body lying down and called the Military Police.

According to information provided at the scene, the man was without identification documents and may be homeless. It is also suspected that he was electrocuted and died at the scene.

The body was taken to the Legal Medical Institute (IML) for analysis and identification.
