It all depends on the current drawn through the body (and especially, through one's heart). Therefore, it depends on the point-to-point resistance through the body between contact points, and whether the current path runs through the heart. Much (most) of that resistance is between the skin's surface and the flesh just beneath the skin. If the skin is punctured so the contact goes straight to the flesh beneath the skin, or the contact patch is very large, or the skin is wet (especially with salt water), or a combination of the above, you can get lethal current with much less than the voltage normally required (i.e., dry skin, small contact points, etc.).
