⠀⠀⠀⠀Electrocution is death or severe injury by electric shock, electric current passing through the body. The word is derived from "electro" and "execution", but it is also used for accidental death.[

death by electric chair

The term "electrocution" was coined in 1889 in the US just before the first use of the electric chair and originally referred only to electrical execution and not to accidental or suicidal electrical deaths. However, since no English word was available for non-judicial deaths due to electric shock, the word "electrocution" eventually took over as a description of all circumstances of electrical death from the new commercial electricity.Causes of electric shock

Damaged or frayed cords or extension leads. Electrical appliances coming in contact with water. Incorrect or deteriorated household wiring. Downed powerlines.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
