Man electrocuted while listening to music on his phone

Cell phones have become many humans' constant companions, but, as electronics, they do come with a certain degree of risk.

About a week ago, a man in India sustained a fatal electrical shock while simultaneously charging his device via an electrical socket and using it to listen to music though earphones.

After suffering from shocks and falling to the ground, 27-year-old Sunil Yuvne of Madhya Pradesh was rushed to an area hospital.

There, he was pronounced dead upon arrival, reports the Hindustan Times.

Investigators believe the transfer of the current was due to a technical failure, but are continuing their search for information regarding the device and the death.

Sunil is survived by a wife and two children.
