A 46-year-old Lemon Heights man was electrocuted Saturday as he apparently tried to clear palm tree fronds from a power line, police said.
John Kincannon, who lived in the unincorporated area near Santa Ana, was working in his backyard in the 1900 block of La Cuesta Drive at 2:15 p.m. and was apparently using a swimming pool skimmer to clear the fronds.
