Puzzled as to how her daughter had been electrocuted when everything in her room looked normal. Once she returned home she went into her daughter’s room.
There she found Xoan’s smartphone charging cable at the end of her bed. Despite being plugged into her phone, it wasn’t charging. The end of the cable near the smartphone was damaged.
Like most teens, it was not unusual for their children to charge their phones while they sleep for Xoan’s parents.
It was speculated a leakage had caused excess current with the worn-out charging cable while she slept.
Xoan’s mother could not control her grief at her funeral as she rushed up to her daughter’s coffin one last time.
She wailed and banged at the casket for her child to come back.
Now that her daughter was no longer part of this world she found it difficult to bear considering it was all because of an incidental situation that could have been prevented.
The risk of overcharging your phone is a real hazard to your safety.
To prevent this from occurring it is wise not to keep your phones nearby when you charge them.
Ensure to always check the condition of your cables and be sure to buy original phone parts from manufacturers.
Remember it’s better to be safe than sorry.
