He rested the phone on his chest while in the bath and electrocuted himself

A coroner is to warn Apple that iPhone chargers can be potentially lethal

Wait ... what? Doofus plugs it in and rests it on his chest in the tub and the coroner wants to warn Apple that their plug may be potentially lethal? Any idiot knows not to use electricity in water. Good grief.

No, he had the "charger element" on his chest. . . not the iPhone. Per the coroner:

"We found an iPhone plugged into the extension cable and then the charger element in the bath," he explained, “The extension cable was on the floor and it appeared as though he had his phone charger on his chest and the part between the phone charger and the cable had made contact with the water.”


Standard Apple UK iPhone USB Charger and Lightning Cable

As you can see, no cord.
