I do have a true first hand experience supported story about a guy who was killed like this - but I will spare you the details. The majority of my knowledge on this subject comes from the days I was a Cardiac Tech and EMT-A Instructor running with my local EMS unit.

I too have a story, a real one, happened 26 years ago
I was working on industrial wiring, JBL speakers was moving all the operations into one complex here in the valley,
another electrcian was up on a sissor lift above me , we were working on HOT 480 volt 3 phase lines adding more runs to feed some Dryers on conveyor belts lines that were going to be moved in that weekend
he was wire nuting one of the connections when he brushed ground ( conduit ) with the other elbow, { you are sppoosed to be wearing gloves and not touching anything bare )
anyway I saw him get shocked & hung ( muscle contaction }
I hit the service breaker, ( it was like 10 ft away )
and lowered the lift, using the manual hydarlic bleed valve on the lift carriage
by this time he's starting to come around, and say's he Okay,
he leans over to cross the conveyor line. and passes out cold drops straight to the floor, NO decernible heart beat or pulse
I start CPR and start yelling for help, Bill & larry run over
bill helps me with 'carl' { later nicknamed 'super' } and larry runs for the phone
bill & I keep at untill the paramedics show up.
by the time they got there ( damm quick ) carl was comming around again with no idea of what had happen, his arm musscles where so tight, the medics had truble getting a pulse or even getting a needle in him
he was back at work 2 days later with a series of burn marks on both arms
the doctors and medics said his heart had defriblated ? right word ? said it was a minor miracle we mange to keep a enough blood and oxygen gong thru his system untill they got there where a machine.
we worked another 8 months on that project with anyone else getting hurt
if my memory is correct it only takes about 90 milli-amps across the the heart to do this
I too have more stories, but from other places other construction wiring jobs
