HV is a unlikely killer I've been hit with it an can assure you that I'm still very much alive.
On some sets the cap of the Horizontal out tube is able to give bad burns.
If one had to kill someone with a TV the best way would be to grab ground with one hand, and the B+ supply lead with the other, of just grab both terminals of the power cord. Most shocks don't kill if one keeps a hand in ones pocket (which is a SOP for technicians) so a tech is unlikely to get killed by a set, but a layman pokeing around, or the repair man using a TV as a MacGuiver-esq wepon of last/only avaliable resort is possible.

gota run.
