A 13-year-old was electrocuted in the bathtub in France when her cell phone, connected to charge, fell into the water.
Rescue workers were able to revive the girl after the incident in Mâcon, reported the newspaper "Le Parisien" on Saturday.
She was in a coma in the University Hospital of Lyon for a few days and then died.
The girl had an appointment with a friend at home when the accident struck.
The friend came to the hospital in shock.
The exact processes are still being determined.
Meanwhile, the girl's mother appealed to other young people and their parents in the local newspaper, as reported by "Le Parisien".
“This has to be a warning to other teenagers because they all have their cell phones implanted in their hands.
We really have to insist: no telephones in bathtubs, because it can end so dramatically. "
