Most of the recent electrocutions I have heard of involved copper thieves. I don't doubt it is possible that I have missed it though. In the last four years, son#1 and I have found two crispy critters laying in the freeway while coming home from late night hockey practice.

Seems folks tend to try the freeway light standards late at night, I guess just because the lights are off???

Once they get the wrong light, it is pretty quick. We have never seen someone injured, just dead.

When you say "kids", do you mean teens? Maybe there was more than met the eye going on??
