Phone explosion killed a man in Korea

Phone explode


After reading this, I started not to put my cellphone on my shirt pocket. A 33-year-old excavator driver was found dead on Wednesday in Cheongwon, North Chungcheong Province in Korea. The man was identified only with his surname Seo. His colleagues found he was found lying dead beside his excavator in a stone quarry in Cheongwon at 8:40 a.m. The policeman said that a cell phone was found in his shirt pocket with melted battery and his chest was burned and fractured. The doctors said that the explosion killed the man and was declared dead on arrival. However, the company who made the phone has been kept a secret. Can you tell what phone is that on the picture? Find out what the company said after the jump.



Phone company:
“We will fully cooperate with the police investigation,'’ an official of the electronics company said. “But we believe that the battery was very unlikely to explode. Our battery is wrapped in aluminum foil, so when there is an external shock, it should just melt, not explode.'’
