Minor nit: shocked, not electrocuted, since you're thankfully still with us. :)

Electrocution is death by electric shock (that's the '-cution' part, like execution).

Interesting, I thought it could pertain to injuring as well. OED seems to allow for injuring, but it's probably a more modern use (due to misuse). Thanks for pointing this out!
