… He was using his phone while charging the device, mum says Tears are still flowing in Okesa area of Ado-Ekiti, as the people continue to mourn the death of a 15-year-old boy, Junior Abia, in Okesa area of the Ekiti State capital. Junior was the second born of the Abias. His parents are popularly known as Papa and Mama Chibuzor Daily Sun learnt that tragedy struck in the home of the Abias on Friday, August 8, at about 2pm. On that day, Junior suddenly shouted for help, jolting his elder brother, Chibuzor, into action. Junior had an electric shock while listening to music on his mobile phone through the earpiece, as the handset was plugged into the wall socket, charging.After raising the alarm, Junior’s elder brother was said to have looked for a long stick with which he could remove the earpiece from Junior’s ears. It was gathered that when he could not have the earpiece removed, Chibuzor also raised the alarm and that alerted other people, who promptly swung into action to rescue Junior.The mobile phone was eventually removed from the power socket and Junior was rushed to a nearby hospital in the area, in a frantic effort to save his life. Unfortunately, the boy passed on just before the rescue team stepped into the hospital. Narrating the ugly incident to the reporter at their two-room apartment in the area, Mama Chibuzor, who could not control her emotions, said: “Junior had assisted me in cooking some rice for sale in my stand at Okesa market before I left home. But it was hardly two hours after I left that someone came running to me that Junior had been electrocuted. I immediately rushed to the scene and met people making frantic efforts to rescue him. “We eventually removed the earpiece from his ears, unplugged the handset from the power socket and rushed him to the hospital. But he died just as we were about stepping into the hospital. “I was told that Junior plucked the handset, which he also connected to the earpiece, into the power socket so as to charge the phone. He was also using the earpiece connected to the phone to listen to some music on the phone. “Some people said he slept off while listening to the music on the phone and charging the phone at the same time. They said it was while doing that he suddenly shouted for help, and when people rushed to him, he was already gasping for air.” Mama Chibuzor further said his son would have lived had he got help on time. She said: “If there had been elderly people around, apart from his elder brother who wasn’t clever enough to devise a better means of saving Junior, my son might have survived the electrocution.” She said she couldn’t say if Junior had been in the habit of listening to music on the cell phone while charging it. “I only know that he was an obedient boy who didn’t get into trouble with anyone. He was also very dutiful; he never got tired of running errands in the house at anytime. Only God understands why this happened to him,” she lamented. Junior was buried three days after his death. According to his mum, all his clothes, pictures, shoes and other things that could bring back some emotional memories had been removed by the family. http://sunnewsonline.com/new/?p=78807 |

The wires of ear-piece of phones are coated. The wire ended on the speaker and the speaker has 0 contact with the ears. You are a liar. |

Tallesty1: The wires of ear-piece of phones are coated. If for any reason, the DC circuit of the charge was comprised and live AC current enters the phone, the entire phone will go live with the current. any little exposure to that current can kill! |

Tallesty1: The wires of ear-piece of phones are coated.You will surprised by what is capable of killing a human being. Like someone said, the fact that you are hearing something out of your earphone means that conduction is happening . Electrical energy is being converted to sound. That electrical energy has to be conducted to where it is converted to sound energy. If there is failure in any of the processes,DC can travel right through the phone to the earphone and make a mess of the brain circuit. 1 Like |

This is scientifically doubtful. I am not saying that the whole story is a falsehood but how can AC port that converts to DC port change to cause electrocution? How can 250 volts that was converted a mere 5 volts fatally cause the demise of that poor child? 1 Like |

noblezone: not true,and how many amount of voltage do u feel can crosses the dc circuit of a mobile fone? abeg na lie.except the guy had sumtin to do with live wire,but even at then,at wat voltage rate should he be electricuted?i guess there is more to this.why did they hurriedly buried the boy? |

malikmoreni: yes,u can touch it without feeling anything.moreover if excess voltage tries to cross d charger,the charger will automatically burnt and no component on a mobile set dat can be able to transmit upto 12v across the system(fone),so they re not telling us exactly wat killed d boy |

SLIDEwaxie: with insulators Help me tell the guy o, | so if i plug a USB otg cable with my tablet via the USB PORT then to a usb mouse and there is a power surge, i'll get fried abi, here's why i wouldn't be affected, | 1. Mostly a high powersurge would me more than the 220/230V so my Tab's power adapter would die first, without the current even getting to the tab. 2. even if it did a usb port port supplies FIVE VOLTS max anything double/triple would fry the usb port. not to even talk of a headphone killing a boy via the 3.55mm headphone jack, that doesn't even supply any reasonable amount of current. even the tiny wire in it would be fried, What do you think FUSES are made of,? those tiny wires, they cant carry any current more than 230V SO they aren't really telling us what killed the boy, who knows it might be PLANNED MURDER A headphone is a silly excuse |

To God who made me as an engineering graduate with years of experience if this story is not false make I suspend For air. A. There is no technical way a 220 V can pass through that tiny cable (its technically and scientifically impossible) B. In every DC appliances there will always be resistor and capacitors So if each receives more than it can take it will blow and current cannot pass again through it. C. This story get K-leg abi the guy put a 20mm diameter cable in his ears BTW 220V hardly kills people nowadays. Story for the gods Believe this and you owe your parents huge cash for wasting their money sending you to school. |
