Beausejour (St Lucia): Aug 7, 2013
A cricket fan in St Lucia died after he was electrocuted during a Twenty20 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match between St Lucia Zouks and Antigua Hawksbills at the Beausejour Ground on Tuesday.
Julian Agard was electrocuted in the vicinity of the Laborie/Soufriere stands at about 10.30 p.m. local time while the game, a CPL preliminary round fixture, was in full swing, CMC reports.
Reports from Castries say Agard, a former police officer and basketball coach, was already dead when he was brought to the medical centre.
He was also a former member of the St Lucia Youth Council.
St Lucia Zouks lost the match by 33 runs as the Hawksbills got their first taste of victory in the tournament.
