In recent days there is a report in China that a flight attendant was electrocuted and killed when she was answering a call from her iphone 5, while the battery was being charged.

Her name is Ma Ailun, a 23-year-old flight attendant with China Southern Airlines. She was scheduled to be married on 18 August.The official cause of death is confirmed as electrocution. Her family declined the claims and rumors of third-party chargers and counterfeit Apple products, stated that she used genuine Apple products. There are lots of rumors and conflicted reports on this incident, like she was in a bath tub when she answered the call, or she was just out from a bath when the call comes. Apple had released a statement for this incident, that they would cooperate with the authority and fully investigate the incident.

based on???

Yeah, I heard about this incident.

 

It's really tragic, what happened to her.

I am pretty sure phones don't hold that much energy in them to cause someone to die even if they had a previous heart problem.

I don't think the phone would hold enough juice to kill a person. Maybe the wall outlet, but definitley not the phone.

I think this is a hoax.

This has got to be fake..  you can lick USB leads and only feel a shock. Unless she stuck the USB cable in her heart there is no way this is possible. Maybe a storm livened the line and sent a high voltage to her phone.....

This is a hoax. The shock could only kill if it was from the wall outlet, and even that is a big maybe. The charger couldn't have hurt even if it was broken because the transformer is on the wall.
