A British man lost his life when his iPhone accidently fell into his bathtub while being at charge. The man was electrocuted and died on spot.
According to local media sources, Richard Bull, a 32-year-old Rugby player was charging his smart phone during a bath when the phone instantly fell in the water, taking his life on the spot.
As the foreign media reported, the deceased was found out by his wife, Tanny, who initially thought that her husband had been attacked by viewing the extreme burns on the body.
The cops after further investigation concluded that Bull had plugged the phones cord in an extension from the hallway to the bathroom in order to use his phone in the tub.
Coroner Dr Sean Cummings reported, This was a tragic accident and I have no reason to believe at all that there is anything other than it being completely accidental. He further added, These seem like innocuous devices, but they can be as dangerous as hairdryers in the washroom. He also intends to write reports to Apple to look into such matters and at least attach warnings to avoid further incidents.
Richards family also expressed their views on this tragedy. His mother Carole said, I have worried that so many people and especially teenagers, that cant be separated from their phones, dont know how dangerous it is.
His brother Andrew also exclaimed over the incident, I still find it hard to believe that the charger plug and phone would be enough electricity to kill someone.
