Investigations are underway after a contractor was reportedly electrocuted at a Cardiff bar. It is understood the 33-year-old man went into cardiac arrest at around 6.30pm on June 1 in O'Neill's on St Mary Street. He was resuscitated after a passer-by performed CPR and paramedics used a defibrillator to deliver three electric shocks, WalesOnline understands.
The audio-visual specialist, who had been contracted to work on lighting at the bar, was reportedly taken to hospital in a critical condition. It is understood he was placed on life support but as of June 7 he was out of intensive care and recovering on a ward.
Cardiff Council has confirmed it is looking into the incident to determine whether a health and safety offence took place. Its spokesman said: "Officers from Shared Regulatory Services are aware of the incident and are investigating the circumstances surrounding the injury."
