Man swims too close to an electric pole, gets electrocuted and drowns

Happened in India.

The cause of his drowning is debated. some say the man was unaware that the water was contaminated (judging by the color of the water) so as soon as he jumped in, he was paralyzed by the contaminated water and drowned but the others say he drowned because he was electrocuted by the electric pole or wire nearby. the latter is more believable. either way RIP.

Wouldn't the current just go through the water and not affect the body?
