A person was found dead in his house, with headphones to his ears and laptop connected to the charger. The front portion of the body was found with some burn injuries, the laptop was partially burnt and the power chord is charred. Short circuit is suspected as the reason for the incident.
There are similar such incidents earlier also, like modem explosion, laptop fire, etc causing injuries/deaths. If we do not use substandard products, similar incidents are likely to occur again and again. Recently, when I read a book on electrical safety, I came to know that, loose contact is a major cause for many electrical incidents. If there is no proper electrical protection in the system, it can lead to sparking and arcing, causing serious injuries. Further, it is stated that the electrical cables are to be replaced atleast once in 15 years to avoid electrical fires.
