anyway, are you claiming that a GEC could have cleared the fault? could be a looong thread here....
what condition was the EGC in?
was the drill double-insulated?

Mo shockable rhythm. Asystole, AED said "shock not recommended start CPR."

No I think the GEC would have kept the drill case too close to ground potential for the voltage between his hand and his knee to overcome the resistance of his body.

The drill was three wire grounded if it had been double insulated he would not have been in contact with the Equipment grounding conductor and he would not have been killed.
