Although phone electrocution is uncommon, there are tragically other cases when individuals have died as a result of their gadget shorting out.
Wanchai Deengam, 27, of Thailand, died in February after dozing off while his phone was charging, according to the Mirror.
The outlet claims that two rice cookers and two fans were connected to the wall socket, and that a wristwatch was also put into the extension connection.
Somkuan Changsarn, Deengam’s elder brother, felt worried when he couldn’t communicate with his sibling.
He wasn’t often a deep sleeper, so I was sceptical. After work, I would constantly see him sitting in front of his room,” Changsarn said.
