Mel, my handyman Sim, was trying to upgrade the stove when he got electrocuted. Here he is, with Jagyula and Elsie looking on, about to get taken to the great beyond. However, the Grim Reaper was merciful at the last minute, and commented that Mel's unlucky antics were amusing for everyone else, and so Grim would come for Mel another time. Hence, Mel lives on. :)
