53 year-old Robert Tamargo has been identified as the GE worker who was electrocuted at the Eastern Correctional Institution last Thursday.

He was a field service engineer who was at the prison’s co-generation power plant when the accident occurred.

It’s now being investigated by the Maryland Occupational Safety and Health agency.

He was with five other GE employees at the facility.

No one else was injured.

There was little interruption of service to the prison in Westover.
