There is this situation that happens every now and then in the movies
where somebody dies in a swimming pool because somebody else throws a
device that is connected to mains into the pool. Is this possible?=20

I can't really imagine a mechanism for that, even though the contact
resistance between the water and the body is highly reduced. If the
water is conductive, it's unlikely that there is a high current through
the body. If it isn't that conductive, it's unlikely that there is a lot
of potential across the body... ??
