"The true cause of death from electrocution is frying of the brain matter; all else is coincidental; D.C. at sufficient rectified voltage, >2500 volts will break the skin resistance and serum sodium levels take over for conductance."

I think we are splitting hairs here. Cardiac arrest or frying the brain end in the same result. A.C. ,at much lower voltages than D.C., can cause cardiac arrest due to the frequency that we generate A.C.

Not exactly, cardiac arrest can be corrected by re-application of current whereas a fried brain is like yesterday's breakfast.
