When I was in the Republic of Panama doing my bit for Uncle Sam we had one of the Security Forces patrol horses get electrocuted when his hoof sank deeply into the wet ground next a recently installed light pole on the walking path. It was incorrectly wired. The horse's name was El Diablo and from what I heard he earned the reputation associated with it. He was a miserable beast to be sure. The tragically comical part came when they were trying to figure out a way to remove the carcass from the scene. Many attempts were made using various improvised methods (there are no manuals for this). They eventually ended up using the baggage bucket used for luggage and baggage loading/unloading the transport planes. Pretty comical; yet in a sad way. The requisite grotto was erected overnight and flowers and candles were found to be aplenty. Some cruel person did manage to sneak in a bottle of glue and some dog food. Now that's funny!!!!
