How to Torture Sims

My first sim had a fairly high mechanical rating and was upgrading a stove... while standing in a puddle from a leaky faucet. He got electrocuted and died 4 times in a row. But the grim reaper kept letting him not die. I dunno if that was because he was my only sim in the household or if it was because I had planted a death flower... or most likely just good luck. (Or maybe it was because he had the unlucky trait... as the message kept saying something about how the grim reaper would let me live because my sim f*ing up was humorous to him. Don't remember the exact message). After the 4th attempt and immediate death I realized that standing knee deep in water probably wasn't a good time to stick my metal screwdriver into the nearest socket.
Anyway, I think you CAN kill off sims with high handiness through electrocution if you have them repair/upgrade electrical items while standing on a puddle.
What was the color of the ghost before the grim reaper resed him? I've never had anyone die from electrocution, mainly because they are typically handy, and it would be hard to test for it :/. I dunno if it's relevant, but instead of having LTW on the tombstone, it is now how they died. Ghosts and their children USUALLY carry around tombstones, but I've had two spawn that were born without one.
Oh, and you can't kill ghosts the way they died originally. I've only tested it with starvation ghosts though, they wouldn't die of starvation even when I moved the bar to empty.
Simius:
I don't remember the color... but I do remember that I was given the ability to interact with the grim reaper during my brief ghostly state. (although nothing much happened since the grim reaper was too busy not killing me) I tried to recreate it with a sim that wasn't unlucky. He had 1 handiness skill to start with... tinkered with a stove while standing in a puddle until he was level 3 and never got zapped. My unlucky sim had died immediately.
So... I'm guessing only unlucky sims die that way... or at least sims that don't have the unlucky trait very rarely die from tinkering while standing in a puddle. Which is really too bad.

About this electrocution matter. I had a set of stereos break down and my sim with max handiness tried to fix them. He got electrocuted but didn't die, so I tried to make him fix them again and this time he got electrocuted fatally. Looks like even max handiness may not save your sims from frying to death.

I finally killed a sim via electrocution. It's really easy if you have a technophobe sim in the household who can sabotage electrical items. Then you have the sim who is going to repair the object wet themselves and then attempt the repair while standing in their puddle.
Here is a picture of all the ghosts :P. From the left to right, Electrocution, Starvation, Drowning, Fire, and Old Age.

In Sims 2 as far as i know you could still get killed at max mechanical but it was extremely unlikely. I assume it's the same thing with sims 3. Since the only time i've ever had someone get electricuted repeatedly was with low skill.
