Voltarol cures most pains. Allegedly. 

I'm not sure the volt in voltarol relates to electrical volts

Watt?

Yes, death by electrocution is a bit redundant as electrocution is a way of being killed. 

Electrocution is not always fatal - it can refer to injury rather than death - so death by electrocution is correct.

There was something about misused words on Radio4 the other day and electrocution was one of the examples and that it is a way to kill somebody and not another word for having received an electric shock. 
Looking at some online examples there’s a bit of a mix ( your version is like the Wikipedia one) of definitions one way or the other.  Curiously the St John Ambulance page tells how you how to treat electrocution which is a bit of a waste of time if Radio4 was right!

I think it’s worse than just an ‘electric shock’, and involves injury or body function disturbance, but not necessarily death.
