Cell phone plugged in?

A few days ago, a person was recharging his mobile 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, but it is highly advisable not to use them while they are being charged since power surges like this may prove to be fatal.
