Read article : Woman, 24, is electrocuted after dropping charging iPhone in bath | UK | News
Evgenia Sviridenko, 24, had been looking at her social media page when she dropped the mobile. It is believed that she was electrocuted.
Her fl atmate Yaroslav Dubinina, 23, found her lifeless body in the bath after becoming concerned about the long period of silence in the bathroom.
It has not yet been established why the phone charger failed to cut out as licensed Apple products are designed to do.
Speaking from the Moscow apartment the women shared, Miss Dubinina said: “I noticed that she had been gone a while. “When I couldn’t raise her I opened the door and saw her floating on the water looking really pale.
“I saw her phone which was on the charger and at the bottom of the bath.
“I unplugged it and pulled her out … her body was still shaking from the shock.”
Police are now investigating the death and refused to disclose whether it was a licensed Apple product.
Miss Dubinina said her friend had recently arrived in Moscow from her home in Omsk, in south-western Siberia, about 1,400 miles from Moscow.
They decided to share a flat together as neither of them could afford one on their own.
Miss Sviridenko’s death comes days after another Russian girl, aged 16, died after taking her charging iPhone into a shower.
In August, Chinese media reported a teenager was electrocuted when she plugged her iPhone into an unofficial charger.
The victim was Wu Weyuan, 18, a student from Korla, in Xinjiang province, western China.
She was found by her sister, who noticed a burning smell when she came home from work.
Apple has previously released statements on its website warning users of the dangers of cheap unofficial chargers.
