Judge Nixes Lawsuit Over Soldier's Electrocution

PITTSBURGH (CN) - Citing her inability to question the military's wartime decisions, a federal judge dismissed a wrongful-death lawsuit accusing a Pentagon contractor of improperly installing a water pump that electrocuted a staff sergeant during the Iraq War.
Cheryl Harris and Douglas Maseth sued Kellogg, Brown & Root in late 2009, claiming their son, 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Ryan Maseth, died when an ungrounded water pump short-circuited as he was showering at the Radwaniyah Palace Complex military base.
When the pump short-circuited, the electricity traveled "through the pipes, shower head, coils and water" and caused "the water itself [to be] electrified," according to their lawsuit. Maseth suffered a heart attack and died on the shower floor.
