Technically, being electrocuted means being killed by electric shock. So, an electrocuted person is dead.
A person who has been shocked may experience deep burns, muscle spasms (electricity is how your brain tells your muscles to contract), and severe neurological effects. He may also experience ventricular fibrillation, or basically twitching in the heart. This will kill him quickly if not corrected with a defibrillator.

He was not electrocuted by his lightning experiment (although the next person to attempt it died), but rather when trying to kill a turkey.
