Death due to electric current is called electrocution. We present the case of a 35-year-old female who accidentally died due to electrocution. The deceased showed atypical electrical injuries caused by a spark in the immersion rod used for heating water. Electric wounds were identified based on circumstantial evidence, pathognomic features of wound, and the histopathology report. The histopathology report was in favor of electric injury and showed streaming of nuclei in epidermal cells. The cause of death was given as electrocution, and the manner of death was accidental.
