Cell Phones Are Deadly

An exploding mobile phone battery apparently killed a South Korean man in
the first such known case in this gadget-obsessed country, police say. The man,
identified only by his family name Suh, was found dead at his workplace in a
quarry Wednesday morning and his mobile phone battery was melted in his shirt
pocket, a police official in Cheongwon, 135 kilometers (85 miles) south of
Seoul, told The Associated Press.

"We presume that the cell phone battery exploded," the police official said
on condition of anonymity. The official said the phone was made by South Korea's
LG Electronics, the world's fifth-biggest handset maker.

Note To Self: Steer clear of LG phones!
