A quick reminder that appliances of any kind that are plugged into an outlet shouldn't be used while taking a bath. A 24-year-old Russian woman was electrocuted when her charging iPhone fell into the water as she was taking a bath.
Olesya Semenova’s lifeless body was found by her roommate in their apartment and the roommate was shocked when she tried touching the body. She also found Semenova’s iPhone 8 in the water, still charging.
Paramedics confirmed that Semenova, who worked in a clothing store, had died when the phone fell into the tub while plugged into an outlet.
“The tragedy once again reminds us that water and an electrical appliance connected to the mains are incompatible,” the Russian emergencies ministry said in a warning after the incident, the latest of a number of such fatalities in the country.
