Electrocuted By Phone: Bride To Be Dies While Answering Cellphone

A woman has died after allegedly being electrocuted by an iPhone, according to her relatives in China. The incident took place in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and claims describe that the woman experienced some kind of electric shock as she answered her call on her Apple iPhone.
The sister of the victim, Ma Ailun, reported the incident on one of China’s largest social media Internet sites, Sina Weibo, which has been described as China’s equivalent of Twitter.

The victim died on Saturday as she attempted to answer her iPhone while it was charging at her home in Changji, according to China’s state-run news agency Xinhua.

The social media post stated: “ hope that Apple Inc. can give us an explanation. I also hope that all of you will refrain from using your mobile devices while charging.”

The concerning post has since gone viral across China and the globe.

Apple, based in Cupertino, Calif., made an announcement on Sunday that it would “thoroughly investigate” the incident.
