A boy of 15 died yesterday after being electrocuted and falling from a 100ft high electricity pylon.

The teenager was climbing the tower and accidentally touched the 66,000-volt power lines.

He was thrown off by the shock and friends saw him fall to his death on barbed wire 20ft above the ground that had been put up round the pylon to deter people from climbing it.

Paramedics and fire officers arrived within minutes but he was pronounced dead at the scene near Rotherham.

The boy, named locally as Michael O'Nion, is believed to have lived with his family nearby.
