I vaguely remember that.  I don't think I've seen the first season since it actually aired on television.<br/><br/>As far as electrical burns, the series and movies never show the body afterwards, but I tend to remember that police officers who investigate the murders in the first movie and possibly in the series make mention of it.  I could just be making things up, it's been ages since I've watched any of the Highlander movies or episodes.  Ultimately it doesn't matter.  Open casket works just fine.<br/><br/>
