Iphone Kills Chinese Woman by Nobody: 12:07pm On Oct 16, 2013


A Chinese woman has been killed by her
iPhone, the 23 year old died after she was
electrocuted when she answered her
iPhone. The phone was plugged into the
wall charging at the time, when the lady
named as Ma Ailun answered the call.
According to Ma Ailun brothers, the handset
had been bought from an official iPhone
store and was not a fake device. He said
that the device had been to Chinese
authorities for examination. There are many
fake handsets and chargers on sale in China,
with many faults which could be dangerous.
Many people were alerted to the former
flight attendants death who was due to be
married later on in the year when her sister
posted a warning on the internet:
‘Ma collapsed and died, while using her
charging iPhone I want to warn everyone
else not to make phone calls when your
mobile phone is recharging,’
The news spread like wildfire across the
internet, which is thought to be another
blow to Apples reputation in China and the
world after numerous bad press articles.
There are a number of theories on why
poor Ma Ailun was electrocuted through her
iPhone, including a faulty charger, poor
wiring in her home and excessive
temperatures damaging wires, although
death by electrocution from a charging
phone is extremely rare.
Apple said in a statement: “We are deeply
saddened to learn of this tragic incident and
offer our condolences to the Ma family. We
will fully investigate and co-operate with
authorities in this matter.”

covering a phone with a metallic or conductive material like aluminium or gold should not be encouraged in mobile electronics.
