Hey guys for Complex News, I'm Natasha Martinez.
The Samsung Galaxy note 7 may be off the hook for freak accidents for the moment.
A man in Alabama nearly died because he fell asleep next to his charging iPhone.
Wiley Day fell asleep with his charging phone next to the bed, a habit that a lot of us
do.
While sleeping his dog tag necklace reportedly slipped between his charger and an extension
cord, making contact with the exposed prongs and sending roughly 110 volts of electricity
through his body.
Just 100 volts is enough to kill someone.
Day's chain became a small conductor for the electric current traveling between the extension
cord and the phone.
The shock threw him from his bed to the floor and shocked him unconscious but was still
able to break the chain from his neck.
Day woke up in shock and noticed smoke emitting from his extension cord.
He had a numbing sensation throughout his body and burn marks on his neck and hands.
His shirt was burned in areas, and his hands also bore burn marks from when he tried to
rip off the electro-charged chain that nearly killed him.
Day was treated for second- and third-degree burns at Huntsville Hospital.
Now that Day is expected to make a full recovery he wants to speak out on the dangers of sleeping
next to your charging phone and hopefully save some lives.
