Death and injury

"...approximately 20% of reported electrocution injuries are fatal." Emergency Care: A Textbook for Paramedics, ISBN 0702025860.
"Electrocution injuries are 5% of admissions to major burns centers." Catastrophic Perioperative Complications and Management, ISBN 331996125X.
"Indirect electrocution from lightning often causes severe burns but is not necessarily fatal." Agricultural Medicine: A Practical Guide, ISBN 0387301054.
"Because electrocution injuries cause massive musclespasms, you should also suspect a spinal injury." Professional Rescuer CPR, ISBN 0763743321.
"In total, there were over 47,000 children killed or injured by electrocution." Bangladesh Health and Injury Survey, ISBN 9280638556.
"General damages award of $150,000 for hunter who suffered electrocution injury was not excessive, where hunter testified that he was left with no feeling except pressure in his feet and with shooting pain around his knees..." West's Southern Reporter.
"Electrocution injuries may appear trivial on cursory exam..." Common Hand Problems in Primary Care, ISBN 1560532092.

Useless page

Someone said in 2012 that this page should be merged into electrical injury (and partly into electric chair imho) and he's right because there is literally nothing is on this page that couldn't fit in either of those two articles. At BEST the page could be something like "List of electrocutions" but that seems rather dumb too. The only reason this page seems to exist is to be anal about the prescriptivist nonsense that NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T USE IT WHEN THE PERSON DIDN'T DIE!!! Oh come off it, it's popular usage and it's here to stay.
