I got an e-mail from a friend that explained the following A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home.

Just at that time a call Came in and he answered it with the
Instrument still connected to the outlet.
After a few seconds electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud.

His parents rushed to the room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.
He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival.
However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death.

Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!

I was shoked to recieve this but i wonder if it is true
Thank you for your time
Christy

Cell phones are a very useful modern invention.
