Where are we supposed to be looking? I didn't see an article on cell phones.

Okay - I'm at the link. It's the front page of Comcast. Don't see anything about cell phones.

I got this in my email. I wish I could post the pictures so you could see.

I am VERY guilty of doing this. I'd talk on my cellphone while it's charging.

Do not charge your mobile phone the whole night and DON'T keep it near you while charging. IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY!

I HOPE YOU'RE NOT DOING THIS!!! Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being RECHARGED!! A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time, a call came in and he answered it with the instrument still connected to the outlet. After a few seconds,
electricity flowed into the cell phone unrestrained and the young man was thrown to the ground with a heavy thud. His parents rushed to the
room only to find him unconscious, with a weak heartbeat and burnt fingers.

He was rushed to the nearby hospital, but was pronounced dead on arrival. Cell phones are a very useful modern invention. However, we must be aware that it can also be an instrument of death. Never use the cell phone while it is hooked to the electrical outlet!

I had a FEELING it was a fake but...live and learn. Thanks for posting SNOPES. I just called the person who sent it to me and told them. She was surprized but said she'd never talk on her cellphone while plugged in again.

Looking more closely at the pictures of the hand, it looks like it happened during a lightning storm.

That story is an absolute impossibility. The cell phone charger would be a pile of charred plastic long before it sent that kind of current into the phone.

Even if this were true, I'm sure it was such a fluke chance of ever happening that it would be a minute percentage of cell phone users that it shouldn't cause for alarm.

It's kinda creepy to think about , though. My phone doesn't even charge plugged in to the wall, I charge it via USB hooked to my computer, so lets say we DID have an electrical storm and/or power surge, my computer would fry before I would.
