Service call a few years back, people were getting zapped in the shower if they touched the controls. tests showed no voltage at the faucet. Long story short, old knob and tube running behind the tub. Plaster inside the wall was higher than the tube and when it got saturated, it passed voltage to the tub. The tub was cast and had a bare spot worn in the center. If they were touching that spot and reached for the handle, they completed the circuit. The city had inspected not long before it started and made the owner install a ground wire from the panel to the water line. Wood is a terrible conductor, but if it is soaked, it carries current rather well. Areas around sinks showers etc are subject to those risks.

A child or some one with a weak heart might not have a chance.
