There's not much to it, just one sentence on Dawn.com's latest news page, but I saw no other mention of it anywhere. I thought the guy deserved better than that, so here it is.
I didn't see it yet on: http://lunaville.org/warcasualties/Summary.aspx(on edit)
Now I found it on lunaville.org. Here:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - A Fourth Infantry Division soldier died from injuries sustained while clearing low hanging power lines across Highway 1 south of Ad Dujayl on September 18 at approximately 3 p.m.
The soldier’s unit was clearing dangerously low hanging power lines when he apparently touched a power line that was still active and suffered severe electrical shock.
The soldier was immediately given first aid and evacuated to the 21st Combat Support Hospital for further medical treatment but later died of injuries.
