For all the sarcastic responses to this post, I can't find a single record of a death by CRT. I found lots of references to people accidentally touching the HV side of CRTs and receiving a painful shock but none of the shock causing any lasting issues.
Death by CRT is definitely possible in theory and the lack of real-world examples could be an issue of shoddy reporting (i.e. cardiac arrest due to electric shock minus a CRT as the specific reason) but I'd think think that across the millions and millions of CRTs sold there'd be at least one concrete report of a death.
Does anyone know of any?
