Police said a Phnom Penh village chief was electrocuted as he slept on Sunday afternoon with his iPhone resting on his chest.

 

Prey Sar commune chief Khan Sokhai said the victim, identified as Kim Pov, 44, returned home after taking his wife to the market, and took a nap. He was found dead by his daughter at 4pm.

 

“We suspect that he died from electrocution because his iPhone and its cable were destroyed,” Sokhai said. “His charger may not be the original Apple product.”

It's a sure thing that he did not have a proper "Apple iPhone Charger" connected! World-wide there have been no reports of any such events.  Now, if the phone had been a Samsung...well that is a different story!

I had an iPhone charger that shocked me. Just enough to feel it, but it was kinda scary.
