A person can die from electrocution when an electric current passes through their body, disrupting vital functions. The current can cause cardiac arrest by interfering with the heart's electrical signals, leading to arrhythmias or stopping the heart entirely. Additionally, severe burns, muscle contractions, or damage to the nervous system can occur, further complicating survival. The severity of injury depends on factors like the voltage, duration of exposure, and the path the current takes through the body.
What else can I help you with?
Does electrocuted always mean you die or can you just be harmed?
Many people have survived being electrocuted. The voltage, length of exposure, as well as whether or not the person was wet or standing in water at the time, etc., are determining factors involved as to whether or not the person survives.
Can touching a electrocuted person pass the current through you?
Yes, if you touch a person who has been electrocuted, you may become part of the electrical circuit and can also get shocked. It is important to avoid touching electrocuted individuals and instead call for help immediately.
What is the correct use of electrocuted?
Usually refers to a person or animal that has had or risks having electricity passed through it (usually unintentionally). "He just got electrocuted" "If you keep poking that you're going to get electrocuted" "The poor thing stepped on the third rail and was electrocuted"

Is it possible to die because of a printer?

What injuries does an electrocuted person have?
Technically, being electrocuted means being killed by electric shock. So, an electrocuted person is dead. A person who has been shocked may experience deep burns, muscle spasms (electricity is how your brain tells your muscles to contract), and severe neurological effects. He may also experience ventricular fibrillation, or basically twitching in the heart. This will kill him quickly if not corrected with a defibrillator.

Can a person be electrocuted in distilled water?
It is extremely unlikely that a person can be electrocuted in distilled water, as it does not conduct electricity very well. However, if there are impurities or substances dissolved in the water that increase its conductivity, there is a small risk of electrocution. It is always safest to avoid mixing electricity and water.
