VILNIUS, Lithuania (AP) - A 74-year-old Lithuanian man apparently killed himself by using a homemade electric chair he put together, police said Tuesday.
The man, who was not identified, was discovered Monday by his relatives who, concerned that they had not heard from him, broke down the door to his apartment in Kaunas, Lithuania's second-biggest city. Police said they found the man sitting in the chair, which had been rigged with wires and electrodes and was plugged into an electrical outlet in the wall.
The daily newspaper Respublika reported that the man had been a senior engineer for a local company that gone bankrupt, but didn't say which company it was.
