A teenager who was using her mobile phone while taking a bath has died
after it fell in the water and electrocuted her.

The unnamed 14-year-old had plugged her phone into a charger that was
connected to an extension lead at the time.

Her devastated mother found the body of her daughter in the bath in
their home in Moscow, Russia, after realising that she had been in
locked bathroom for a long time.

The mother then forced her way inside after getting no response from her
daughter before finding her lifeless body inside.

The victim had reportedly been so badly electrocuted that her body had
started to burn.

Her mother said that the teenager had the charger in her hands and the
mobile phone was on the floor, and she had used an extension lead
because there were no plugs in the bathroom.

Prosecutor Yulia Ivanova told local media: "Currently we are still
investigating and will make a decision on what action to take, if any,
once the investigation is completed."


Must have a pretty suspect electrical system in Russia for that to happen.
