NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Posted 9:55 a.m. August 13, 1999 -- A failed attempt at getting a better view of last night's Perseid meteor shower cost a Newport Beach man his life.

Scott Millet was electrocuted when he tried to cut wires in a street light so he could see the spectacle better through a telescope, reported CBS 2 News.

The 20-year-old apparently broke into the base of the city light pole and "used a tool to cut the main power cord," Newport Beach police Sgt. Mike McDermott told news wires. "As a result, he was electrocuted and was found to be unresponsive by responding paramedics."

It all happened around 1 a.m. outside the victim's home on the 1800 block of Santiago Drive, said the television station. Millet died at a hospital a short time after the accident.

Electrocution in Newport Beach

A young man was electrocuted in Newport Beach today when he allegedly tried to cut wires in a city light pole to darken the street so he could view a meteor shower through a telescope, police said. Scott Millett, 20, died at a hospital a short time after the 1 AM accident outside his home in the 1800 block of Santiago Drive, said Newport Beach police Sgt. Mike McDermott.

"He had been viewing a meteor shower through a telescope with family members in the street near his residence," McDermott said. "He decided that a nearby street light was hindering his viewing of the stars and he broke into the base of the city light pole, exposing the wiring.

"He then used a tool and attempted to cut the main power cord," McDermott said. "As a result, he was electrocuted and was found to be unresponsive by responding paramedics."
