I never said pacemaker! Some people are arrythmic and a shock could stop
the heart.

A surprisingly large number of people die from licking the electrodes of
batteries every year, basically a shock of the order of milli amps and/or
milli volts is actually enough to kill, the timing just needs to be

precise,

and the person somewhat unlucky.


And, more importantly, the current path has to pass through the heart if it
is to affect the beating of the heart muscle.

The current will pass around the entire body!
