Korean man killed by exploding cellphone
via Engadget
South Korea, which has already seen two people supposedly struck by lightening drawn to their cellphones, has now experienced its first death due to an exploding handset battery.
According to the AP, a quarry worker was found dead Wednesday with the remnants of an LG mobile melted into his shirt pocket, much like the welder who died under similar tragic circumstances this summer in China.
For its part, while acknowledging that one of its phones was indeed the culprit, LG reportedly claimed that dying due to such an accident was "virtually impossible."

Yeah I remember reading about something similar before in the paper. The phone exploded when the guy was keeping it under his pillow overnight or something like that.

I guess it was the battery then. I wonder what caused it to explode then. It's pretty scary, you could be on your phone and it explodes.
