I would argue that “instantly killed in a horrifying way” is oxymoronic. I don’t care that I’ll be torn to pieces by rabid centipedes while being boiled alive in a vat of acid, as long as it’s an instantaneous death. Horrifying, maybe, to observers, but any instantaneous death makes the means irrelevant to the killed.
First, I don’t think this was instantaneous. Depends on how high the voltage was.
Regardless of that, I wanted to point out that I once had a third-degree burn next to my ankle made by the escape pipe from a motorbike. It barely hurt at all, and it smelled like steaks. Thing is, the nerve terminals burn, and so you don’t feel any pain. But it was ugly, following days I had to keep it clean… And the mark lasted a few years.

Not instantaneous; just too fast for you to see the trouser snake.
Maybe he’s not the only one who is horrified by it?
They do form social bonds so there is a chance a friend of his saw it happen.
Of course the meaning is horrifying to the observers and to those contemplating it.
