All she needs to do is contact a faulted appliance while in the shower or bath (the metal plumbing and soapy water providing a path to ground) or otherwise come into contact with the hot power lead, and she’s a goner. Throwing an appliance into the bathtub with an intended victim is unlikely to harm them, the fuse or breaker will trip, and current will not find the path of least resistance through a human body. Reaching over in the bathtub and touching a faulted appliance will, most likely.
