Most are killed by low voltage because thee are most accessible. 220 single phase is standard home power feed. The lines TO the stepdown transformers are 7kV in older neighborhoods where one transformer serves several homes. The lines FROM transformer to house are 220 V .
People have been killed by lesser voltages. It depends on what path the current travels.
