About the only way I can see this happening is if she was using the phone connected to the charger while taking a bath or shower. In which case, it’s a Darwin Award thing.

It’s low voltage DC, how does that kill someone?

I call B.S.

A current sufficient to ‘electrocute’ you would have fried the wires off the charger long before you would have been killed by it.

Not to mention the fact that the charger supplies low voltage and low current...

Was she taking a bath or maybe brushing her teeth?

Sure it wasn’t an “iFone”?

Third-party chargers (many not certified) are common in China. There was another burn case in India, where it ended up that the owner had replaced the battery with a third-party battery.

If this were really a common problem, you'd have heard about many more cases.

You fools obviously don't understand the brilliance behind this revolutionary design. It's a feature, not a flaw, you idiots!

Now let me introduce the iPhone 6 with a 20% whiter case! Only $800!

Not enough information to draw a conclusion but I can personally attest that a regular landline telephone will jump in the air and glow blue with a nearby lightning strike.

I always answer with my Bluetooth headset when my (non-i) phone is charging.

Probably that wonderful Chinese building construction had the hot wire as ground or there was no GFI. The iPhone was just a conductor.

I take stories from china with a grain of salt. Many sound like they are direct from the National Enquirer.
