Even if the heart muscle doesn't kill you, you can still die from the chemical imbalance caused by subjecting to your whole body to electrolysis. So if you got shocked, visit a hospital immediately! You can still die hours later.

- MrBuddyCasino 8y agoFair enough. I've read in an interview of a hospital staff doctor, not sure if I can dig up the source.

This can result in severe heart rythm issues, even hours after the shock. A doctor can test this and fix it with an infusion. Not my original source, but says the same.
