    As Chris says I've read in reports in the French media that the family had only just bought the house with the intention of renovating it so I'm guessing they were using an extension lead to power the electric shower in the bathroom.




    All the reports seem to have the same source, but there is mention of a "prise multiple" = multiple socket; a wet floor; and a burnt knob on the shower.


    Of course, in the absence of effective ADS, a fault in an electric shower could have been earthed by the victims; or perhaps any extension lead was faulty and the shower earthed the victims.
