There are many ways to kill off a character, but ever since Thomas Edison invented the electric chair, creators have learned that a particularly flashy way to do it has been to run a high voltage current through them. The circumstances may vary, the character may take a nasty fall into some high voltage equipment, grab an electric fence, or wires, or their death may be something more mundane like dropping a toaster into the tub. The fact is a lot of characters get a nasty shock, and they die, and there's a million ways to do that.
There are a couple of different reasons a character might die by electrocution. The main reason is it's a very "clean" way for creators to kill a character off without having to resort to Bloodless Carnage or Symbolic Blood. Thus a High Voltage Death is often used when creators want to get around the censors in a more realistic way; especially in kids' shows. The other reason is it's also very easy to write a High Voltage Death as an accident, which makes for a great Karmic Death. One reason to accidentally die by electrocution is for it to be an Accidental Murder where the "killer" only intended to rough them up a bit, but one thing leads to another, and the "victim" ends up turning on the power and unintentionally killing themselves. Or the electrified character ends up being oblivious to the fact that electricity was running through the thing that ends up killing them. Despite all this, dying by electrocution can often be a more painful and horrifying way to die than more graphic ways.
Strangely, it's pretty rare for a High Voltage Death to be caused by Elemental Powers, since there are so many other ways to die by electricity. Killing someone intentionally with electric powers is usually a privilege reserved for the most evil of villains, because of how horrifying it looks, and how painful killing someone with high voltage can be. You could say it's a twist saved for when you really want to shock the audience.
The polar opposite to Harmless Electrocution. Related to Accidental Murder, Bolt of Divine Retribution, Karmic Death, and Make It Look Like an Accident. Electrified Bathtub is a subtrope. Head Smashes Screen may overlap if the (TV) screen in question is activated. In more comical instances can lead to X-Ray Sparks. For cases where electricity is not harmless, but doesn't cause death either, see Electric Torture.
Of course, this can unfortunately be Truth in Television for anyone who messes around with electricity without knowing what they're doing — or for that matter anyone who gets sentenced to death by electric chair — so please don't do that!
As this is a Death Trope, unmarked spoilers abound. Beware.

Everything or Nothing: Bond can inflict what should be one of these against Jaws at the end of "An Old Friend." What makes this not an example of Harmless Electrocution is that it is visibly harmful, but it's just not enough to do much more than slow him down.

In the American Laser Games game Crime Patrol, in one level in the "Rookie" segment, the female cop almost touches an electric fence and then turns to you and says that electric fences can shock you. Then, a few seconds and two shot bad guys later, a bad guy comes out from behind a box, and you must shoot the bad guy to send him flying into said electric fence. The bad guy is then shocked to death afterwards.

In The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight, a member of the title group scales a utility pole outside the office window of their mob boss, Antonio "Baccala" Vestrummo, as part of an assassination attempt. He raises a throwing knife... straight into high-voltage wires, fatally electrocuting himself. The lights in Baccala's office flicker briefly, but he remains otherwise oblivious to the failed attempt on his life.

The Simpsons:
Played with in "Hurricane Neddy"; a criminal on death row is about to be executed in the electric chair during Hurricane Barbara. Seconds before the warden pulls the switch, the roof is blown off the death chamber in a huge gust of wind, which also causes the straps to come off. The criminal is blown into the air, and he snarls at the prison staff, "So long, suckers!" However, his freedom is very short-lived, as he is blown into high-voltage wires and killed anyway.
At the end of the episode “Homer's Enemy� Frank Grimes is outraged at how Homer is constantly rewarded for his laziness and stupidity, goes insane, and starts mockingly mimicking stupid and risky things Homer would do and saying he's "Homer Simpson". While doing this he grabs a high voltage cable without safety gloves in Homer's office and unintentionally electrocutes himself to death.
Subverted in "Lisa the Tree Hugger"; when Lisa visits Jesse in prison for a second time, he reveals that he convinced the cops to install a solar-powered electric chair. Cut to Snake sitting in said chair, which is barely tingling him.
Just barely averted in "This Little Wiggy", where Mayor Quimby straps himself to an old electric chair at the abandoned prison in an attempt to act out what will happen to criminals if they commit crimes in the city. Unfortunately for him, Bart and Ralph turned the power to the chair back on, so he was being electrocuted for real. Had Lisa not intervened, he would have been killed.

Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons:
In "Operation Time", Captain Blue pursues the Mysteronised Doctor Magnus (who has just had his Mysteron identity exposed by an X-Ray) into Cloudbase's generator room; Magnus, ranting and raving, backs into a bank of relays and dies screaming in a "Red Screen of Death"; this incident proved that (a) Mysterons could be detected by X-rays, and (b) they could (only) be definitely killed by high voltage electricity.
In a later episode, "Noose Of Ice", Captain Scarlet improvises and swings an active power cable into a set of metal stairs a Mysteron was descending, electrocuting him (to the point of combustion!).
Captain Blue also states to Captain Scarlet, "High voltage is the one thing that can kill you."

In Godzilla vs. Hedorah, this is how the smog monster is defeated. After discovering that electricity can dry out Hedorah's sludge-comprised body the quickest, two electrodes are setup in order to trap Hedorah in between and electrocute the monster to death. Shenanigans ensue, and Godzilla manages to dry out (and thus kill) Hedorah by using his atomic breath to power the electrodes and bathe Hedorah in electricity.

One of the possible ways to kill a person in Yandere Simulator is to cause a water fountain to leak to create a puddle of water, sabotage a nearby electric socket to electrify the puddle and giving a person salty snacks to cause them to run to the fountain to drink, thus leading to them to be electrocuted to death. Hilariously, Yan-chan can also electrocute herself if she's not careful about where she steps. In 1980s mode this is implied to be the 'canon' elimination method for getting rid of Ai Doruyashi, via sabotaging her microphone.

In the 1998 remake of Mighty Joe Young, this is how the film's Big Bad Strasser meets his end. Just as he's about to shoot Jill, Joe stops him by flinging him into some wires over a transformer. Strasser, having lost some of his fingers to Joe many years ago, loses his grip and falls into the transformer, electrocuting him to death.

Metalocalypse:
One of Dethklok's songs, "Bloodrocuted" is about an electrician who uses a pool of his own blood and an electrical outlet to fry some mercenaries who are after him.
This is how journalist Nick Ibsen died, thanks to Stella Murderface a) knocking over a lamp that injured Nick's neck, and b) severing electrical cables that fell into the pool of blood Nick stood in. This is actually what inspired Nathan to write 'Bloodrocuted'.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1989): One of the most notoriously annoying levels in the game is an underwater level where you have to swim through obstacles that can zap the turtles with electricity if you don't time your movements right.

Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker: After The Joker kidnaps Tim Drake (Robin), and brainwashes him into being insane like himself. The Joker tries to get Tim to to kill the Batman and prove Tim is like him. In the censored version of the scene Tim pushes The Joker into a glass container full of water, breaking it, which causes him to get tangled in electrical wires attached to the container. The Joker slips on the water and accidentally pulls an electrical switch, and the wires electrocute him to death. Many years after the Joker's "biological" death, Terry destroyed the microchip that was planted in Tim Drake's neck that allow the Joker to return to life with the Joker's own joy-buzzer, putting an end to the Joker's reign of terror forever.

Attempted but averted in an episode of The Incredible Hulk (1977), where a KISS-like heavy metal singer (played by Mackenzie Phillips) plans to do this and make it look like an accident during a concert in order to teach her fans a lesson about... something or other. But when she sees David Hulk Out and the fans are still screaming for more, she realizes that her death will make no difference to them.

Over the years many characters have been killed by the various electricity-related spells such as Shocking Grasp, Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning and others.
1st Edition module S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks. In Level II (Service Deck 5) there are areas that contain electrical equipment such as generators and transformers. If a PC decides to touch these devices with metal objects (e.g. weapons), there's a 10% chance that the character will be electrocuted and killed.

Occurs in the Borderlands games when you kill an enemy with a weapon that deals electrical damage. In the first game, doing so to most human enemies would result in the flesh being fried off of their skull, which would then shatter after their lifeless body falls to the ground; in Borderlands 2 enemies simply vaporize in a spectacular lightshow of flares and sparks.

In the BioShock series, any mooks hit by electricity in water are instantly killed. This is also a GREAT way to spend your electric shotgun shells — ON A BIG DADDY.
You could even beat the final level (or at least most of it) by spamming flamethrowers with electrical mods to shoot streams of electricity.
They took electric shotgun shells and flamethrowers out of the sequel... and added CONSECUTIVE LIGHTNING STREAMS instead. This was usually Awesome, but Impractical though. A better application would be the new Tazer Bots in the Minerva's Den DLC.

In the Boojumverse, the story "The Wreck of the Charles Dexter Ward" reveals the powerful Living Ships called Boojums can only be killed in two manners: chopping them into tiny pieces, or with a powerful electric shock to the central nervous system. Since the first method is highly impractical, Cynthia and Hester use electricity to slay the reanimated Charles Dexter Ward, dispatching the villainous Dr. Fiorenzo in the same manner in the process.

Murdoch Mysteries:
In "Power", Toronto City Council are entertaining the idea of abandoning direct current electricity for the city in favour of the new alternating current. Two murders are committed connected to the current wars, and both of them involve electrocution.
In the aptly-titled "High Voltage", the Victim of the Week is a salesman found dead in his product: a chair with electrodes designed to send a small amount of current through the body of the person sitting in it. The man was in fact electrocuted, and once Murdoch determines the device was tampered with, he sets out to find out who did the tampering and why.

Caroline suffered this in the backstory of A Cry in the Night. While feeding animals in the barn, Caroline tripped on the damp floor and fell into a stock tank. She instinctively grabbed at a lamp to stop herself falling (not realizing it was plugged in) inadvertently pulled the wire into tank with her and was fatally electrocuted. Or at least, that's what everyone thought happened. It's eventually revealed her then-ten-years-old son Erich pushed her in and threw the lamp in after her.

The Bad Seed: And adaptations: In the original book, and play versions, the story's Enfant Terrible Rhoda, survives an attempted murder by her mother and it's implied Rhoda goes on to killing her next victim. In the 1956 film version due to the The Hays Code being in effect at the time, and with it Executive Meddling making clear that they couldn't allow a criminal to get away with their crimes, the filmmakers tacked on a scene at the end where Rhoda is killed by a Bolt of Divine Retribution.

Another Stephen King example is The Green Mile, which is about the Guards who man the electric chair at Cold Mountain Penitentary. A few characters, including Delacroix and John Coffey get the chair during the story.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution has electrified water as an occasional hazard. It does gradual damage but it can still kill you if you're not paying attention. Although you can get an augmentation that renders you immune.

In Hitman (2016), you can electrocute someone to death by having them stand over a puddle of water exposed to an open wire. It also counts as an accidental death, making your kill unnoticable. Killing people by luring them into electrified puddles was a rather a easy-to-repeat, cheesy kill method, so the sequels greatly reduced the amount of electrocutable puddles... Though Hitman 2 added the ICA Electrocution Phone, which was such a Game-Breaker it was removed in the third game.

Doctor Who:
"The Face of Evil": One of the Tesh acolytes is killed when he falls against an electrified mesh Xoanon intended to kill the Doctor.
"Horror of Fang Rock": Rutans are capable of generating and discharging massive amounts of electricity from their bodies. When one gets stuck in a lighthouse on Earth, it slowly picks off the people there by frying the living daylights out of them.
"Dalek": The Dalek turns on a sprinkler system and blasts an overhead catwalk and the floor to kill a large number of opponents in only three shots, one of which was to turn on the sprinklers.
"Planet of the Dead": Christina narrowly avoids this when rappelling down a shaft, as the Doctor stops her before she can hit the security grid. Then, when she's coming back up in a hurry while being chased by a hungry alien stingray, she turns the grid back on as she passes it, which apparently kills it.

The last Bone Chillers book, "Here Comes Sandy Claws", features a giant mutant lobster\ who gained sentience and terrorizes a cruise ship. The main characters defeat it by tricking the lobster to the deck of a cruise ship where the large swimming pool is (thankfully already evacuated) and dropping a set of floodlights into the water, creating the largest lobster bouillabaisse in history along the way.

Forever: Played with then played straight in "The Ecstasy of Agony" when a man appears to have been killed by suffocation, but it turns out a low but steady electrical current was used to make his diaphragm seize up, preventing him from breathing. Later the same killer kidnaps Henry and tortures him with painful high voltages, but when he tries to finish him off, Henry is able to shift his hand enough to grab hold of the killer, causing the current to run through him as well, disabling him.

Addams Family Values
This is the fate of the film's villain, Debbie Jellinsky. When she attempts to murder the Addams via electric chairs, Pubert accidentally re-routes the wiring of the electric chairs and redirects the electricity back to the switch Debbie was holding onto, killing her instead.
She tried this on Fester earlier by dropping a stereo into the tub with him. The lights all blow away and he seems to be agonizing (much to her delight)...But in true Fester fashion, he's seen sitting there cheerily and unaffected with a lit bulb in his teeth.

Midsomer Murders:
Several murders in "Electric Vendetta" are carried out through electrocution
In "A Tale of Two Hamlets", Frank Webster, the second Victim of the Week, is murdered when the killer hooks up his exercise bike in the gymnasium to the mains power.
In "The Axeman Cometh", Hired Gun's lead singer, Mimi Clifton, is electrocuted on stage during their opening number.
In "The Dagger Club", the first two victims are electrocuted by booby-trapped roulette wheels.
In "With Baited Breath", the first Victim of the Week is killed when an obstacle on an endurance trail that is set to give a mild electric shock is cranked to maximum while he is contact with it.
In "Claws Out", Tai is murdered when the killer places an electric dog training collar around his neck. They usually emit a low-level electric shock using batteries, but this one has been tampered with and wired up to the main power outlet.

Mysterious Doctor Satan (1940 Film Serial). The title supervillain controls his minions by making them wear remote monitoring devices that will also electrocute them if he decides You Have Failed Me. In Chapter 2, Dr. Satan punished a minion who let the hero escape by forcing him to stand under an electrocution device, which serves as a Chekhov's Gun when the hero accidentally moves under it for the obligatory "Will-our-hero-survive?" Cliffhanger. In Chapter 6, Dr. Satan has a Damsel in Distress in a Death Trap and attaches wires to the doorknob to electrocute the hero when he turns up to rescue her (he should have attached them to the fire escape ladder as well).

Titan A.E.: This Don Bluth movie has a Heroic Sacrifice variant. Captain Korso repays Cale Tucker for saving his life by making a Heroic Sacrifice, using himself as a shunt in a huge circuit breaker so that Cale can power up the Titan spacecraft. He is seen momentarily roaring in pain from the massive current flowing between the contact points.

Gall Force: In the first OVA, android Catty makes a Heroic Sacrifice by using herself as a conduit for a broken power cable. This is parodied in Ten Little Gall Force (a short Super-Deformed OVA where the cast is portrayed as actors playing the characters). When it comes time to film the scene, the actress playing Catty is concerned about the wire being live, since the director's so into realism. Once she's reassured it isn't, she grabs the wire, at which point the director turns it on.

Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Billy comes up with a plan to kill off the Gremlin horde by getting them wet (normally a bad idea) but then unleashing the gremlin that had Shock and Awe Elemental Powers on them. ...it's not clear what happened to the electric Gremlin. Maybe being grounded absorbed him into the ground?
Earlier in the film, the Electric Gremlin killed Dr. Cathether instantly by electrocuting him, and tried to do the same to Mr. Clamp before Billy trapped it in the phone system.

When the final blow is dealt on the final boss of Final Fight 3, it sends him flying into a fuse box nearby which doesn't just electrocute him, it somehow destroys the entire skyscraper where the fight takes place.
