Electrocution = death
Google and the Oxford dictionary disagree.
And Cambridge says it means to die from it.
I wonder if the origin of the word was a portmanteau of electricity and execute.
Execute to death, of course
Could be, but there's other words with that same ending
This is what I get for skipping Latin...
