Ghana Man Killed by Cell Phone

You know I don't quite think anyone's ready to die when they pick up their cell phone to make a call while it's charging...that is unless you're calling to have someone kill you...in which case I guess you just made someone's life a little bit easier. Unfortunately for one Ghana man I don't think that was the case.

Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being RECHARGED!! 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.
