Gqeberha police have urged residents to refrain from illegally connecting electricity as this can have fatal consequences.
The warning comes after the occupant of the main house in Couta Street in Greenbushes, heard the dogs barking in the early hours of Saturday morning and went outside to investigate.
Police spokesperson Captain Andre Beetge says the woman then found the tenant of the flatlet lying lifeless on the roof with wires in his hands.
Captain Beetge said it's suspected that the 26-year-old man was attempting to connect electricity to his flatlet when he was electrocuted.
An inquest docket was opened and being investigated by SAPS Kabega Park.
