Ann-Marie O’Gorman: Warning after mum electrocuted while holding charging mobile phone in bath
A three -person mother, after holding a mobile phone accused while taking a bath, was a ruined husband, now warned people not to enter into a wrong sense of security by the claims.
46-year-old Ann-Marie O’gorman was discovered by her husband Joe on 30 October last year while lying next to an Enssite bath at the Dublin house.
In an investigation into his death, Mr. O’gorman said he returned home after he took his youngest daughters into the first disco when he found his wife unresponsive.
He said he spoke on the phone for a short time on his way home at 20.00 and believed that he was in the bathroom at that time.
Mr. O’gorman said he found an iPhone and a charging cable in the bathroom and that he got a small electric shock when he lifted his wife from the water.
He noticed red signs on his hands and chest while giving his wife CPR, and Mr. O’gorman told the Coroner Court of Dublin.
The iPhone said that a three -meter -long charging cable was attached to a socket in the bedroom.
Mrs. O’gorman was considered appropriate and healthy and went to the gym every morning, although it is a thyroid condition known as Von Willebrand and Graves’s disease.
Mr. O’gorman complained that Coroner did not give any warning about the danger of contact with water while charging.
In 2017, one man died in London, one man died and one child died in similar conditions, and all electronic devices in the packaging of warnings referred to two cases.
“All you hear is how these phones are great in water up to six meters. It gives people the idea that you can keep your phone close to water,” Magazine Reports.
“There must be warnings that this is dangerous.”
“There is nothing to say that this is a danger that you can die by any provider. This is the only thing people should know.”

Paul Collins, a consultant judicial engineer, contacted the stem of a shower supplement that caused the right finger to pass through the body of the electric current when Ms. O’gorman returned to get it.
Although mobile phone charger has a low voltage, he said that killing a person was “more”.
Coroner Crona Gallagher described the incident as a “terrible tragedy ve and managed the cause of Mrs. O’gorman’s death as an electric shock by charging cable and telephone during the bathroom.
Gallagher said he would think about which parties should be informed about the concerns in the investigation and that he would contact them on time.
