   A local politician in Germany died after he was struck by   
   lightning Saturday while taking a bathroom break as a severe   
   storm slammed the region.   
      
   The incident happened around 9:20 p.m. at a garden party in the   
   village of Höhnstedt, about 120 miles southwest of Berlin.   
      
   "To our knowledge, this has been the worst incident of the storm   
   so far," police spokesman Ralf Karlstedt told local newspaper   
   Mitteldeutsche Zeitung.   
      
   The politician, identified by local news outlets as 44-year-old   
   Nico K., belonged to the Christian Democratic Union of Germany   
   party.   
      
   He was a member of the local council and wanted to move into the   
   district council, according to Bild.   
      
   The 44-year-old was at the party when he took a bathroom break   
   under the pylons of a high-voltage line. According to   
   Mitteldeutsche Zeitung, that's when he was struck by lightning.   
      
   Onlookers tried to revive him, but the 44-year-old died before   
   first responders arrived at the scene. No other injuries were   
   reported in the lightning strike.   
      
   That will teach him to piss on public utilities.
