    This was checked out on www. snopes. com and it is true.
    This was also on Pittsburgh's WTAE channel 4 news
    Never, ever answer a cell phone while it is being CHARGED!!
    A few days ago, a person was recharging his cell phone at home. Just at that time a call came 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!

    but this cant be happend b coz how can such a electricity flow thru that wire because its been redused by an transformer ne.we only get a little voltage for charging.
    there must be a another reason for this
