Ah, I see you met Electricity Rule #4: A switch doesn't remove the electricity, it just interrupts it for a little while. That's why one should always kill the circuit at the breaker (and still confirm it's dead with a meter or other reliable testing device) before diving into the wires.
Glad to see your buddy got it all figured out.
Occurred to me later......I removed the twist caps from the wires and handled them to get down and accessible........all while they were, unknown to me.....HOT.
