You may be shocked to learn that there does not have to be any water present for electrocution to take place. If electricity passed through the body and travels through the heart then you can be electrocuted. Most accidental electrocutions happen because someone is trying to fix something electrical and they make contact with both hands. This sends electricity through the chest cavity where the heart is and caused heart failure.
