Can electric current pass through dead human body ?

This was the question came in my mind after watching yesterday's "adaalat" serial. In the serial , it was shown some wicked doctors trying to make experiments by passing high voltage electric current through dead human bodies. Being an electrical engineer by myself , I know human body is made up of fluids . Our body acts as a perfect conductor for electricity to flow through . During rainy season , we often hear about death of people by electrocution . Now it is clear that a person dies when high voltage electricity pass through him . But what about dead human bodies ?! Will they act as conductors ? ????? ????? Surprisingly the answer is YES . Eventhough electricity passes through dead human bodies , resistance to the flow of electric current increases as the body goes on dessicated .
