UPDATE: SeaWorld Employee Electrocuted
By: Fox S.A. Staff
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.
SeaWorld officials say no other employees, guests, or animals were harmed.

Last-minute fortune seekers buy Powerball tickets
May 18, 2013 23:13 GMT
By BARBARA RODRIGUEZ Associated Press
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- Powerball is a game of numbers, and lottery officials say the majority of possible combinations have already been purchased ahead of Saturday night's near-historic $600 million drawing.
The odds of winning the game's largest jackpot remain astronomically low: 1 in 175.2 million.
But since about 80 percent of the possible combinations have been purchased, lottery officials say it's likely the winning ticket could be selected.
People lined up at gas stations and convenience stores Saturday for their chance at striking it rich.
South Carolina resident Benjamin Richardson says the few bucks he spends for every drawing are worth it. He also reasons that "it's all luck anyway."
The latest jackpot is the world's second largest overall, just behind a $656 million Mega Millions jackpot in March 2012.
