        Just read about this. Phone on chest , in bath, whilst charging.

        Probably getting a slap in the afterlife as well.

        He had a negative bluety on a quackhandle and was quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

        I look forward to your all knowing and likely sarcastic and unhelpful reply.

          It's quite hard to get a definite view on what happened. One article said that he plugged an extension lead into a socket outside the bathroom, and had the charger (presumably plugged into the other end of the extension lead) on his chest. The charger fell into the water.
          Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Doesn't matter what happened the guy is a f***wit and unfortunately due to his stupidity left his wife a widow.

              The BBC article talked about it only being 5V, but if by "charger" it's the bit plugged into the mains then it's 240V.

              Dropping the phone with the lead attached into the bath is surely harmless. Maybe someone here can test it?
              Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

                  Are vibrators rechargeable?

                    A solution is to connect your bath to the live wire.
