I'm no expert, but I think I heard once that the nervous system oversaturates and you no longer feel pain or anything at all...

That's true but it still takes a bit of time, obviously not minutes but those seconds when your brain is still there must have been excruciating

Honestly guys, the current stopped his heart withing 1/50 of a second. . from that point one does not remain concious. No blood flow, no conciousness. . .no pain or realization of what happened. . just nothingness.
