I commented on this sad incident on another thread as an example of the lack of awareness of danger many people have today. That was avery interesting post Gouli-Iwas not aware of the different charger types seeing the higher priced ones as just typical branded rip offs. Also was not aware that the instantaneous voltage on mains could be so much higher than 240 V which is quite enough o kill anyway.

In spite of the different types of charger etc is till find it ahrd to understand man of 32 did not realise
1 That you never ever ever mix water and electricity
2 That any charging device has at some point wire in and a wire out, the wire out may only be 5v but the wire in is regular mains.

A sad story
