A pastor performing a baptism was electrocuted inside his church Sunday morning after grabbing a microphone while partially submerged.
The Rev. Kyle Lake, 33, was standing in water up to his shoulder in a baptismal at University Baptist Church when he was electrocuted, said Jamie Dudley, a church business administrator and wife of another pastor there. Doctors in the congregation performed chest compressions for 40 minutes before Lake was taken to Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center.
Pastors at University Baptist Church routinely use a microphone during baptisms.
