However, family members found Messenger electrocuted when they arrived. Pimentel says Messenger apparently urinated into a roadside ditch but didn't see the live wire.

Pimentel says there will be an autopsy but burn marks indicated the way the electricity traveled through Messenger's body.
-Tsunami swept away fleeing bus full of retirees-By MICHAEL WARREN and EVA VERGARA
PELLUHUE, Chile (AP) - The 40 retirees enjoying summer vacation at a seaside campground nestled under pine trees knew they had to move fast after Chile's
powerful earthquake struck. They didn't make it. The tsunami came in
three waves, surging 200 meters (yards)into this Pacific Ocean resort town and
dragging away the bus they'd piled into, hoping to get to high ground. Most of those
inside were tourists, and only five of their bodies had been found by Monday,
firefighters and witnesses said.
