Luiza Pinheiro, from Riacho Frio in Brazil, was rushed to hospital on Sunday but doctors were unable to revive her.

The 17-year-old’s lifeless body was found on the floor by a relative at about 5pm, the Mirror reported.

A ‘huge electric charge’ had destroyed her phone, which was plugged into a charger.



‘The girl’s grandmother told the doctor that they found her granddaughter unconscious, lying on the floor and with headphones in her ears,’ a hospital spokesman told local media.

‘They said they believe that the young woman had an electric shock because the cell phone was charging and the phone was melted.’

He added: ‘It is stated in the medical record that the girl was admitted to the hospital one hour after the electric shock.

‘The relatives said that the girl had received a shock, but the causes of death will still be confirmed.’

He said it was not raining at the time but there was a lightning storm.

It is not clear exactly how the teenager was electrocuted and the cause of the shock is still under investigation.

Electrocuted by headphone....

This is my common mistake

I used to put earphones when sleeping & sometimes my phone is charging..

Wicked electricity.
