WAXAHACHIE (1080 KRLD) - Police say a college student is dead after being electrocuted while jumping from rooftops in downtown Waxahachie.
Police say when they got to a call off North Rogers Street in downtown, they found 20 year Jedidiah Brookbank, on the rooftop of a business.
They say he and a friend had been jumping roof to roof when he came into contact with high voltage power lines and was electrocuted.
On Facebook, Brookbank’s father identified him as the victim, saying, "It was a great way to go for a young man, albeit a little foolish. Though shattered, we are well, looking with joy and expectancy to joining Jed in the presence of the Lord."
Brookbank was a student at Southwestern Assemblies of God University.
