The French car had it's bonnet up and sprawled across the engine was the driver, the self-same man who left the store around fifteen minutes earlier. Dead, very. Damp night, metal zip, exposed battery terminals . . .

If the guy had a pace-maker an electric shock could have stopped it working. Also he might have got near the high voltage side of the ignition if it was a petrol engine.

There are a lot of things that might have been the cause. The car's voltage from in the battery in damp air might have been enough.-----It's all supposition.

Under normal conditions, working in the dry with dry hands the resistance of a human being skin is enough to prevent the electricity entering the body.-( 12volts from the battery. )

What really disrupts human cells is high voltage. Spark plug voltage is enough. It simply instantaneously boils the liquid in the cell. Amperage plays very little part in it.-

As lightening hits a tree the liquid content of the trunk is instantly turned into high pressure steam and the trunk simply explodes.----


PS.---Voltage is PRESSURE.---Amperage is QUANTITY.------Without voltage amperage doesn't go anywhere.
