24 year old dies after being electrocuted charging phone while wearing headphones

A 24 year old man in Thailand has died after reportedly being electrocuted.

Kritsada Supol was charging his phone while wearing headphones, and was found dead in bed with headphones in his ears.

The factory worker had his Samsung phone plugged in with a cheap charging cable, according to reports.

It's believed he was listening to music or speaking with someone when the incident occurred.

Police in Thailand have blamed a poor quality charger for the electrocution and have warned of the dangers associated with them.

PC Polthong said 'Many people could be in danger if they use cheap charging adapters which are not manufactured from the authorised company. It looks like the victim was electrocuted but the body will be sent for an autopsy to confirm the exact cause of death.’
