NAKHON SI THAMMARAT — A 16-year-old boy was fatally electrocuted while he was wearing an earphone connected to a charging mobile phone in Nakhon Si Thammarat province last night, police told reporters.
Police found the boy’s body, still wearing his school uniform, with visible burned marks on both of his ears and an earphone still intact. A mobile phone, which was being charged, was found next to his body, said Lt.Pol. Sanya Klomsuk, an officer at Thoong Song Police Station.
