At times we may actually cant do without our smart phones. They’re everything to us—our GPS, our video gaming device, our way to connect with the world socially, and lastly, a way to occasionally communicate when necessary. Many of us will quickly experience a panic attack if we realize that we left home without our digital companion. Few of us would ever think that the very thing we love so much could one day lead to our death. In fact, more people are now killed in selfie-related deaths than shark attacks! Below are 10 of the most bizarre ways that people have died due to their favorite electronic devices.

1.A Man Walks Off A Cliff While Using His Phone




Sometimes we’re all guilty of texting and walking in our homes, at the grocery store, or maybe even at the mall. While walking and looking down at our phone, we’ve all probably bumped into someone or something, but for the most part, we manage to tear our eyes away from our phones long enough to be aware of what’s around us.

It was Unfortunate for Joshua Burwell, who didn’t look away from his phone soon enough. On Christmas Day 2015, Burwell went to San Diego’s scenic Sunset Cliffs, a popular spot for tourists and locals alike to view the sunset.

Many people go there hoping to grab the perfect photo for Instagram and garner as many likes as possible. Burwell was no different than the many others there, but he was so glued to his phone that he didn’t realize he’d already passed the safe area of the cliff. He kept walking until he stepped right over the edge and fell 18 meters (60 ft).

People nearby heard someone crying out for help, and eventually, a group made a dangerous descent down the cliff-side and reached him. Sadly, he died at the scene.Witnesses said that they saw Burwell walking toward the cliff while looking down at his phone and simply falling over the edge. “[He] wasn’t watching where he was walking; he was looking down at the device in his hands,” said lifeguard Bill Bender.

2. Man Is Killed After Using His Phone’s Tracking Feature






Perhaps for many people, who often misplace your phone at home. Worse, it always seems to happen when the phone is on silent or vibrate mode. For those of us prone to misplacing or losing our phones, tracking apps are the best thing that could have ever happened.

But it can be one of the worst things to ever happen, too. In February 2016, a 23-year-old man in Birmingham, Alabama, had his iPhone stolen. After remembering that he could use the phone’s tracking app to locate it, he looked it up and found that his phone was active, and he knew exactly what address it was at. Emboldened by this knowledge, he drove to the location, a suburban Baptist church parking lot. Using the tracking app, he forced his phone to ring and heard it inside the car next to him. As he was going into the car to retrieve his phone, a man shot and killed him. The young man was pronounced dead on the scene.

Police Chief Leon Davis had this to say:

If you have an app on the phone, contact your local police department. Let the police do their job and recover your stolen property. Don’t take these matters into your own hands—these things normally don’t turn out too good.
