A SeaWorld employee died after being electrocuted while working at the park today, San Antonio Police say.

Police say 49-year-old Ricardo Corpus was working on an HVAC unit on top of the SeaWorld employee cafe when he stuck his hand inside the unit to take a measurement.

A co-worker heard a sound and turned around to see a large puff of smoke, police said. When the co-worker went to check on Corpus, he found him unresponsive.

Corpus was taken down from the top of the cafe and transported to a waiting AirLife helicopter, but was pronounced dead at the scene.

Jury convicts former South Texas DA of corruption
May 25, 2013 03:24 GMT

BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- A federal jury in South Texas has convicted a former district attorney on corruption charges.

Former Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos (vee-yah-LOH'-bohs) was convicted Friday of racketeering, bribery, extortion and other charges. He was acquitted of two counts of extortion.

Villalobos was accused of paying $10,700 to state District Judge Abel Limas to participate in a scheme that unintentionally allowed a convicted murderer to escape. Villalobos was also accused of using his discretion in exchange for cash.

Limas pleaded guilty to racketeering and was one of the main witnesses for the government.

Villalobos is the highest-profile target to stand trial in an FBI investigation into legal corruption in Cameron County. He ran for Congress last year, losing in the Democratic primary.

Villalobos denied any wrongdoing.
