You mean the investigator might possibly have been totally non-partisan? We are talking about a manslaughter -possible murder inquiry, here; no?

What went worng?
I thought the shower head was not allowed to reach the water in the bath. Read any electric shower installation manual.

Well - if I read the article correctly - the guy didn't take notice of a previous shock that he received. If that happened to me, you wouldn't catch me using it again.

I thought it was the shower unit itself that shouldn't be fitted below the height of the bath rim. But I'm probably wrong. :-))
The shower head should not reach the water so prevent back siphoning. If the mains went to negative pressure dirty bath water would be sucked into the mains.
Ah Ha ! That's how it works ?
Yep.
For that reason, I'd say its Darwin Award time. Getting into an electric shower that has already shocked you... erm, no.
