I think that the answer is 'humidity', not capacitance. The microclimate very close to the surface of a human body can be very humid. This would be especially true a very short time after the initial shock. What we need is a volunteer to hold the live terminal of a phase meter, so we can determine whether the current is resistive or capacitive.
