WOFL: Authorities say the family was attempting to raise the antenna when they lost control of the pole and it struck an overhead power line. The impact sent 13,000 volts of electricity through the pole the three were holding.
Authorities say rescue crews responded to a 911 call about the electrocution Monday evening when they found the three on the ground not breathing.
Authorities have identified the victims as 55-year-old Melville Braham, 49-year-old Ana Braham and 15-year-old Anthony Braham.
