suggests this may not be entirely true and could be a re-telling of the
true story of potentially explosive or flammable cell phone batteries.
Snopes maintains there is no known or general danger of electrocution from
answering a charging cell phone -ed
-
- A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone
at home.
-
- Just at that time a call came in and he answered it with
the instrument still connected to the outlet.
-

-
-
-
-
-
-
- After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell
phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy
thud.
-
- His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious,
with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.
-
-
-
-
-
-
- He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced
dead on arrival.
-
- Cell phones are a very useful modern invention.

-
- However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument
of death.
-
- Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical
outlet!
