You shouldn't get an answer to this question unless someone came back from the dead.

Electric shock refers to a non-fatal electrical injury, whereas electrocution describes a fatal electrical injury.

Electrocute is derived from "electro" and "execution," but it is also used for accidental death.

Shock wise been hit a ton by 120 and a below. 250 DC hurt pretty bad, luckily that hit was a grazing injury from faulty equipment.

Worst by far was a static ground line on an air blast circuit breaker that came loose in a 500kV switchyard. It swung into me while I was leaning against a Gator UV. Didn't see it get loose. Luckily wind blew it away from me.

Seen some messed up things in my line of work that resulted in death though. 13.6kV is not kind to the human body.
