      It’s not got anything to do with sweat. (Actually, that might make it less effective, but I doubt it.)

      Tasers get fatal when the person has a heart condition or similar issue. Basically causes your muscles to clench and relax at high frequency rendering you unable to use them.

      Sometimes hearts get dysrhythmia, where they stop contracting in a useful/normal fashion (that lub-dub beat.)

      It’s the current passing through/near the heart that causes it.
