A man was killed while apparently trying to steal copper from a shuttered apartment building in West Philadelphia.

The body was found Wednesday in the Brith Sholom House, along Conshohocken Avenue. The Philadelphia Housing Authority owns the property. Its CEO told the Inquirer that the man was electrocuted while attempting to strip copper wire from the basement.

PHA says it has sealed the building since it was closed last August, but there have been several break-ins.

Just this week, the construction trade unions announced a $50 million loan to PHA to renovate Brith Sholom into low-income senior housing.

In the final round of pardons issued by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, a few names on the list sparked controversy.

One of them, Harris Jacobs, was pardoned on the same day he was convicted in a fatal car accident. Jacobs struck and killed Atlantic City resident Orlando Fraga in 2022. His father helped raise money for first lady Tammy Murphy’s failed Senate campaign. The Atlantic County prosecutor said justice must be blind to status.

Murphy also pardoned Moshe Glick, who was charged with assaulting a pro-Palestinian protester. Glick is described as a pro-Israel activist by CAIR-New Jersey, who denounced the pardon, saying it sends a deeply troubling message.

In all, Murphy ordered a historic 455 pardons during his tenure, and he said it’s one of the greatest honors of his time as governor.
