http://www.tribtoday.com/...l/id/524132.html?nav=5021GUSTAVUS - Trumbull County sheriff's detectives said they used identifying marks on the body of an electrocuted man to identity him after he was burned nearly beyond recognition in an apparent attempted copper theft.
About 2,000 customers lost power when he sawed through an electrical connection at a substation early Monday at the intersection of Gardner Barclay and Stoddard Hayes Roads, deputies said.
The man was identified as Robert Travis Eakin, 30, of 6880 state Route 45, Bristol Township, through ''networking between officers in different departments,'' according to Detective Mike Yannucci.
Yannucci stopped short of saying tattoos were used as the identifying marks. He had tattoos of a skull and flames on one of his forearms and the word ''trouble'' tattooed on the back of one of his shoulders.
Detectives on Monday had released information saying they were trying to identify a white male in his 30s who was 5-foot-6 and weighed 160 to 170 pounds.
His body was found about 1:30 a.m. at the substation by an Ohio Edison crew.
Yannucci said detectives and power company representatives believe Eakin sawed through a thick electrical connection at the base of the substation and was electrocuted on the final saw stroke through the connection when his body became the ground for the considerable amount of electricity.
Mark Durbin, a spokseman for the electric company, said he estimates Eakin could have been hit with as much as 12,000 volts.
''The investigation is continuing. It's not likely he tried to do this without help,'' Yannucci said.
