"Lesbocution", Way to Die #832, is the fourth death to be featured in "Life Will Kill You", which aired on May 14, 2008.
Plot[]
Lori Pathouson was a drunk woman who was leaving a club with her friend who was helping her walk.
Lori had had a series of bad relationships and was ready to square off men altogether, she was sure that she was better than her last partner and had a plan to have a new one, Lori had always felt like she was bisexual and decided to indulge that fantasy so she planned to have a relationship with a woman, Lori took off her 4-inch stilettos that had squeezed her feet since the evening began and were killing her, being barefoot she felt better and was ready, but it turned out that instead of it being Lori's first experience, it would be her last.
Before crossing the street, Lori unknowingly stepped into a shallow puddle of water next to a traffic pole and the wires were exposed and in contact with the water and were carrying 30,000 volts of raw currents into the water.
William C. Wysock: The fact that she was standing in the puddle of water, increased her conductivity for...electrical shock. The fact that she was bare foot, greatly increased her... probability that she would be shocked very severely.
Lori learned a scientific truth the hard way, wet skin conducts electricity 10 times more than dry skin, Lori stood in the puddle, put her hand on the pole and she became a human circuit, killing her and sending her to Heaven where she could find a girlfriend to love and that she love her.
William C. Wysock: Basically what happened to her, is that she completed an electrical circuit. If the light pole was made of metal, it's grounded, of course, 'cause it's mounted in the ground. So, she completed an electrical circuit, that caused enough current to pass through her body, from her feet, through her hands where she was touching the pole, that caused defibrillation of the heart, which means the heart stops basically. There's enough current and enough voltage there, that caused electrocution. So, she died of electrical shock.

(Lori decides to home with bare feet, Seethers is playing)
Narrator: Before crossing the street, Lori steps into a shallow puddle next to a traffic pole. She doesn't see the exposed wires at the bottom of the pole. She doesn't know that they were feeding 30,000 volts of raw currents into the water.
(Lesbocution is playing)
William C. Wysock: The fact that she was standing in the puddle of water, increased her conductivity for...electrical shock. The fact that she was bare foot, greatly increased her... probability that she would be shocked very severely.
Narrator: Lori is about to learn a scientific truth the hard way. Wet skin has 10 times the conductivity of dry. By placing her hand on the metal pole, Lori becomes a human circuit.
(As that, Lori touches the metal pole, dies instantly)
William C. Wysock: Basically what happened to her, is that she completed an electrical circuit. If the light pole was made of metal, it's grounded, of course, 'cause it's mounted in the ground. So, she completed an electrical circuit, that caused enough current to pass through her body, from her feet, through her hands where she was touching the pole, that caused defibrillation of the heart, which means the heart stops basically. There's enough current and enough voltage there, that caused electrocution. So, she died of electrical shock.
