A King William man was accidentally electrocuted while attempting to repair a microwave oven.

King William sheriff's Capt. James Nester says 28-year-old Charles N. Martin was removing the oven's back cover when the accident occurred Monday at a farm near Hanover Court House.

Nester said that the oven had electrical power but apparently wasn't generating heat.
