26-year-old dies after mobile phone falls into bath

Recent death of a 26-year-old woman in Russia adds to the alarming spate of tragic deaths caused by electrocution in the bath while charging mobile phones.
Evgenia Shulyatyeva, an accountant, 'slipped' her mobile phone into her bath tub and was electrocuted to death. Her mother Vera, 53, rushed to Shulyatyeva's home when she didn't respond to her messages and found her dead in the bath.
According to reports in Metro.co.uk, it is not clear if Shulyatyeva was using the device at the time of the accident, but it is believed to have 'slipped' into the tub while on charge.
Described as being bright by one of her friends, Shulyatyeva's death is being probed by Russian Investigative Committee, local reports claimed.
