PHOENIX - Phoenix Police officials say an investigation is underway after a man was electrocuted inside a hot tub.

According to a statement released on June 29, officers responded at around 10:30 p.m. on June 28 to an injured person call at a business in the area of 68th Street and Chauncey Lane, which is located to the southwest of Scottsdale Road and Mayo Boulevard. 

"When officers arrived they found an unresponsive man inside a jacuzzi with live electrical wires exposed," read a portion of the statement. "APS was contacted and was able to shut off the electricity to the building."

The man, according to police, died on scene.

An investigation is ongoing.
