Injured repairman improving

NH Business Review Staff,

REGION – A 61-year-old Sears department store repairman remained hospitalized Thursday, but his condition was improving following injuries he sustained Wednesday while working on a big-screen television at a Merrimack residence.

Gerald Tetrault, of Gilford was in good condition at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where he was transported by medical helicopter shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday, hospital and police officials said.

Police and fire crews suspected Tetrault had sustained “severe electrical shock” after he was found lying unconscious behind a television he was working on at 35 Maidstone Drive at about 5 p.m.

A resident at the home told police she had heard a loud noise just prior to finding Tetrault lying face up behind the television, police said.

Tetrault, who had also suffered a gash to his temple, regained consciousness as he was being loaded into a Dartmouth-Hitchcock medical helicopter at nearby Martell Field, fire officials said.

Sears officials were unavailable for comment.

Unbottling the Nongfu Spring deal

New Hampshire’s attorney general says no improprieties by state officials preceded the sale of a large Nashua commercial building to China’s largest water bottler. But Attorney General John Formella’s report to Gov. Kelly Ayotte dated Oct. 3 says the provisions of federal law should have taken place prior to the sale of the 337,391-square-foot building at 80 Northwest Blvd. in Nashua by a subsidiary of Nongfu Spring.
