Man dies charging iPhone while in the bath

[-Zait-]

I'm sorry but I laughed really hard when I read the title

OT: It's kinda tragic but also kinda funny. Having a running current of electricity in water isn't too good for your health, who would've thought?

Should have gone with an Android phone.

This was my favorite part.



HOW? How the fuck has this anything to do with Apple? What does s/he expect Apple to do about fucktardedness?

Sounds like it was done for PR reasons, i do wonder if the coroner has an Iphone or an Android.

Should have gone with an Android phone.

Unless the Android is full blown retard proof I don't think it would've made a difference.

Probably not. It was mostly a joke, but iOS does suck.

First of all who takes fucking baths, have a shower this isn't the victorian times.
Second, if you can't put your phone down for 10 minutes you are a twat.

I'd hate to become a retard stat like 'number of people electricuted in baths'.

i cant see that happening as "who takes fucking baths, have a shower this isn't the victorian times".

A coroner ruled his death was accidental and plans to send a report to Apple about taking action to prevent future deaths.

This part made me laugh out loud!

"A coroner ruled his death was accidental"

I think the point is people don't think a phone has enough power to cause death and thus forget about the risk

The charger connected to a power outlet sure does. Again, it's common sense to not have your charger near water.

Hopefully, his son sues Apple and wins millions of dollars.

Now his son with bad "DNA" is rich, and has many kids.

Darwinism is NOT working !

What a world we live in. We have synthetic opiods killing addicts, clearing the streets. Now we have Cell Phones killing idiots. I wonder whats next?

No sympathy, Darwin award.

Wall outlets are 120, 240 is for bigger stuff like dryers and ovens. It had to be the extension cord that killed him because a phone charger is DC.

Do you think DC current cannot kill you? It's true that AC requires less current to kill(around 30 to 100 milliamps) but DC can kill at 300-500 milliamps by causing heart fibrillation.

Is it sad that I learned that Electric doesn't mix well with Water because of Pokemon... Specially the episode where Ash is fighting Misty at the gym.

One less stupid gene in the gene pool.

And are iphones running on 300-500 milliamps?

[Ozzyorcborne]

Death by stupidity. I have no sympathies for this dumass or his family.

[abracmike]

If it's anything like the other phones on the market, it'll easily get up to ~2000ma

[ItachiZaku]

This is the beginning.
