I will give you a personal example. I have had an electric shock once or twice in my life. There was enough of an electric charge for one of the elements on the electrical panel that I had accidentally touched to burn. I did not die because of this, but I was very frightened, and I moved away from the panel. I do not think I would have been able to continue fighting with someone who might have been trying to arrest me.
Could the combination of events be an issue here? Would I have died if someone had jumped on top of me rather than coming to help me?
