For two days, Dorothy Sanders sauntered around in her Miami Gardens backyard, picking up fallen avocados, chatting over the chain link fence with passing neighbors — unaware that there was a dead man in one of her trees.

Late Sunday morning, she and two neighbors searched the ground for more avocados when they looked up and saw a man in his 50s straddling a branch about 20 feet up. ”His legs were hanging down, like he was seated or something,” Sanders said.

It seems the man was electrocuted as he attempted to get avocados from the upper branches with an 18-foot metal pole, authorities said. A Miami-Dade police spokesman said the cause of death would not be official until the medical examiner’s autopsy, but preliminary inquiry points to an accident.
