DO NOT ANSWER CELL PHONE WHEN IT IS PLUGGED IN!!!

(Pittsburgh's WTAE Channel 4 News also covered this story!)

Never ever answer a cell phone while it is being CHARGED!! A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. At that time a call came 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 his 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. Cell phones are a useful modern invention. However, be aware that it can also be an instrument of death.

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

FORWARD THIS TO THE PEOPLE THAT MATTER IN YOUR LIFE, I JUST DID!
