A lethal dose of electricity is less than .2 amps: Electrocution

When a person is wet all over, the electrical resistance of the skin is really low. Resistance in the blood stream, a salt water solution, is already pretty low.

Bathtubs/showers and electrical apparatus has always been known to be a bad mix.

I doubt she was taking a salt water bath.

.2 amps at 5 volts doesn’t have much force to make it into your body.
