A GFCI outlet would have saved her life.

This gives me a better appreciation of them. Going to check all the bathroom outlets to make sure they’re GFCI. Those near the kitchen sink too.

That’s right.

I live in a 120 year old house - the first thing I did when I moved in (1987), was replace all bathroom and kitchen outlets with ground faults.

I should probably do that with the laundry room in the basement - there’s a utility sink.

When it s really important is if there is a bathtub - but sinks can electrocute people too - just a lot less likely to be fatal.
