That's kinda low. If you mean death by electrocution; personally, I don't "feel" anything less than 60-65v, and even then, it's a very faint tingle. It's not voltage that kills you, it's current. And it takes ~15mA to kill someone. And given our bodies are in the 10-15 Mega-ohms of resistance, it would take quite a bit to produce 15mA of flow. There are other factors in this, but I won't continue rambling. :)
