No. The term electrocution means receiving a fatalelectrical shock, either accidentally or as part of capital punishment in some places.

To be shocked can mean getting a jolt of electricity, or it can simply mean "very surprised or upset" as by unexpected news, or by some disturbing event or situation. (Synonyms are appalled, aghast, dismayed, or stunned.)
