Washington : A 32-year-old man in the US was nearly electrocuted and left with serious burn injuries after he slept with his phone charging on his bed. Wiley Day, from Huntsville, Alabama, fell asleep with his iPhone not far away as, like so many others, he had grown used to keeping his phone with him in bed, as it charged overnight. The next morning, Day woke up and rolled over and as he did so, a dog-tag necklace that he was wearing happened to catch on the exposed prongs of the charger head, which had come loose from the extension cord. The metal chain suddenly became a conductor for the electricity — and it travelled straight to Day’s neck.
The jolt he felt was “the eeriest, darkest, most demonic thing you could ever experience,” Day told The Washington Post. Day said he was thrown from his bed to the ground and in a matter of moments, he stopped feeling anything. PTI
