Chile's human rights watchdog is calling for an investigation into the electrocution death of a man during anti-government protests.

A protester stands amid tear gas fired by police trying to disperse an anti-government demonstration in Santiago, Chile, Friday, Dec. 27, 2019. Chile has been roiled by continuing and sometimes violent street protests since Oct. 18, when a student protest over a modest increase in subway fares turned into a much larger and broader movement with a long list of demands that largely focus on inequality.

The man who died was 40 years old and was electrocuted after falling into a pit with cables during chaotic street scenes, according to police and local media.
