Or something else?

Detroit police are investigating the death of a man who was found, on fire, at the top of an electrical pole Friday.

“I don’t know if he’s up there trying to steal, trying to fix something, I don’t know. … You don’t want to assume,” Detroit Police Sgt. Eren Stephens said.

Stephens said authorities were contacted by someone who saw the man on the pole at Sunderland Road and St. Martins Avenue on Detroit’s west side.

Stephens said late Friday that the man had not yet been identified. She said police are waiting for a report from the medical examiner’s office.

If it was a utility worker accident, I think there would have been more said.
