A Bulgarian who dipped his hands into a popular public fountain in central Sofia was electrocuted because of faulty insulation in the fountain's lights and pump, the news agency FOCUS quoted prosecutors as saying recently.

The death of 33-year-old Veselin Petrov has spurred authorities into ordering rapid checks of other fountains in the Bulgarian capital, FOCUS said.

Other people in the Bulgarian capital had reported receiving shocks from the recently opened fountain but no action had been taken, the news agency added.
