'Train surfer' electrocuted <br />JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- A youth was electrocuted at the Longdale station in Industria, Johannesburg, on Thursday morning (March 2), emergency services told the Independent. <br />Chief Superintendent Malcolm Midgley said he had climbed onto the roof of a train and was riding it like a surfboard when he was electrocuted. <br /> <br />"His body was found about an hour ago between the railway lines at the station," said Midgley. <br /> <br />"There may have been more people with him, but we are not sure. Boys often jump onto the roof and show off among themselves. Unfortunately this time someone was electrocuted." <br /> <br />(This item appeared March 2, 2006, in the Independent.) <br /> <br />March 2, 2006 <br />
