The inspector general said in the findings that “multiple systems and organizations” failed and exposed Sergeant Maseth to “unacceptable risk.”
The report said that Sergeant Maseth, 24, was electrocuted while showering when he came in contact with water pipes that had become energized because of the failure of a water pump that had not been grounded. It says that the military contractor KBR, based in Houston, installed the pump and adjacent water tanks, said John Q. Kelly, New York electrocution attorney.
