fatal shock
I think "shock death" refers to death due to electrical shock (as in the link offered in the first suggestion). I and Roche disagree that it's not a medical term - plug it into http://www.gesundheit.de/roche/ and althought there's no english offered, it does appear 4x.

Armorel Young
: your reference is to a case of death by electric shock (electrocution) which is not the case here

The term shock death exists. That's all there to it. Shock is due to many things. All are referred to by this word only.

death from shock
I think I would put it like this. "Death following/in consequence of shock" might also be acceptable, but I'm not a doctor, so I'm not at all sure here - I have a feeling this is used more frequently in relation to shock trauma after accidents.
It's a great pity google cannot distinguish between contexts, but there are at least nearly 700 hits for this exact expression, most of which appear medical-related rather than power-related.
"Shock death" is extremely common in the sense of "unexpected death", and that's why I wouldn't use that. Equally, it's very common in headlines about electrocution deaths.
