A Kentucky firefighter has died, weeks after participating in an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that went horribly wrong.Electricity from a power line shocked four firefighters on a ladder as they sprayed water on a group of college students below who were trying to pull off the charity stunt.Crews from the Fire and Rescue Department in Campbellsville were helping the Campbellsville University band with their video "Challenge" August 21. The fire department posted a message on Facebook which included a "thank you" from Grider's family to the nurses and doctors who tried to save his life, and the firefighters who spent time at the hospital hoping that he would recover. He leaves behind a wife and children. They all lived in the same home with his parents in Columbia.
