    Sounds like the reports of electrocution are mere guesses by somebody being interviewed, and the media runs with it because of sensationalism.

    That sounds very much like someone somewhere generating a scare. A shock severe enough to injure or kill would require a major and highly unlikely fault in the equipment.
