Maybe it triggered an existing condition. Six months later he suffered a heart attack. An immediate EKG may not have shown anything, but a follow-up by a cardiologist might have shown problems. From my own experiance, rf burns hurt more than standard 50Hz ac or dc shocks even though I would have to rate car iginition systems a close second. RF frequency burns are nastier than DC or low frequency, and are much more disruptive to the body's electrical/nervous system. They can also burn internally, with little outward burn shown. A co-worker some years ago was sloppy, and put a few hundred watts of RF through his hand. Nasty burn which took a very long time to heal. Over 15 years, but I bet he still has a scar. My advice is to avoid zapping anything you can't buy at the parts store.
