A man has been electrocuted after apparently stepping on a live electrical line in an east side Detroit alley.

A nearby resident smelled something burning and called police after finding the man's body about 8:30 a.m. Friday.

Police say the wire was wrapped around the man's body. He was not immediately identified.

The alley reportedly is overgrown with weeds.
