A 28 year old Buyck man is dead after being electrocuted.

Duane Jensen was working with a construction crew Thursday morning loading tree removal debris on to a truck when the truck's boom contacted an over head power line.

Jensen's coworker and the bike fire department's first responders administered cpr before taking him to the Cook hospital where he died.

The accident is being investigated by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry and the St. Louis County sheriff's department.
