A 42-year-old Honolulu man who collapsed last month after standing on an iron electrical access panel next to a Kapi'olani Boulevard sidewalk died from "cardiac arrhythmia due to low-voltage electrocution," the Honolulu medical examiner has determined.

Michael Perron Jr. died on Feb. 18, but a determination of the cause of death had been deferred pending more investigation.

City spokesman Bill Brennan has said that an inspection of the access box where Perron stood found "there was an insulated connection where parts of the insulation appear to have been worn down."

Though the city did not say whether the wiring caused Perron's death, they did inspect other electrical boxes on or near sidewalks.

Perron was initially taken in critical condition to an area hospital Feb. 18 after standing on an electrical access box at the intersection of Kapi'olani and University avenues and then leaning against or touching a streetlight. He was later pronounced dead.
