Still love your cell?

A 33-year-old excavator driver was found dead on Wednesday in Cheongwon, North Chungcheong Province (North Chungcheong Province resides in the center of Korean Peninsula, and is the only province which has no contact with the sea) after a suspected cell phone battery explosion, police said. The man, identified only with his surname Seo, was found lying dead beside his excavator in a stone quarry in Cheongwon at 8:40 a.m. by his colleagues. His cell phone was found in his shirt pocket with its battery severely melted and his chest burned and fractured, the police said. It is the first case of a suspected mobile phone battery explosion killing a person in Korea, though there has been several reports of such deaths in other countries. The cell phone was the product of a renowned South Korean electronics company, police officers said. Update - The phone was manufactured by LG Electronics and not Samsung Mobile

Though police and the doctor who examined him are blaming an exploding cell phone for the death of a 33-year-old South Korean quarry worker, the National Institute of Scientific Investigation said an exploding battery could not have caused such extensive injuries, according to an Associated Press story on Yahoo.
The man was found dead in the quarry with a burning mobile phone stuck to his chest. The doctor who examined him said he had burns on his chest, a broken spine and ribs, as well as heart and lung injuries. A formal investigation could take up to 15 days.
