Bali police are considering bringing charges of criminal negligence following the death by electrocution of central coast teenager Jake Flannery, but they don't know who to blame. As the parents of the 18-year-old were due to arrive at the holiday island late last night, local police are probing whether the owners of the Joker's Cafe, the government electricity provider or the local Public Works Office is responsible. Mr Flannery, who was in Bali to celebrate schoolies, died instantly on Saturday morning after he stumbled and grabbed a neon sign owned by the Kuta establishment as he tried to squeeze around a large pile of pavers on the street. Inspector Muhammad Wahyudin Latif told the Jakarta Globe: ''There are very strong indications of criminal negligence.''
