It doesn't. Apparently the phone was plugged into the wall and the lethal voltage came from there. Which is strange and may be lawsuit worthy in itself since water near the phone's charging port shouldn't cause a lethal short. The only thing I can think of is that she was trying to plug/unplug the wall charger while in the tub. I guess this happened in Australia? Modern US homes have GFCI outlets with built in circuit breakers to keep this exact type of accident from happening.



Well, that makes more sense then dropping it in, lol

Wait, I didn't mean to laugh. It's a terrible situation.
