Auckland man who had arms amputated after electric shock can't remember incident
A West Auckland man who had both his arms amputated after suffering an electric shock while working says he has lost all memory of the entire week leading up to the accident.
Jahden Nelson, 28, was left fighting for his life after a steel pole he was holding touched low-hanging overhead power lines in April.
He received a severe electric shock as he took the entire voltage of the power line and suffered a heart attack. Months on, he is still receiving care as an in-patient at Middlemore Hospital.
