Electrocution

Electrocution is death caused by an electrical current passing through the human body (electrification). This can be due to: cardiac fibrillation; a contraction of the respiratory muscles (tetany) that stops respiration, the destruction of cells; rhabdomyolysis, burns or traumas associated to the electrical charge (involuntary movement, fall, etc.).
