32-year-old Wiley Day from Alabama is a
lucky man, he somehow survived after he
was electrocuted by his phone charger. He
sleeps with his cellphone charging in his
bed but on one fateful Wednesday night,
things went really bad. The charger came
lose and a metal dog tag he was wearing
got caught up in it, he was jolted out of bed
by the electricity coursing through his body.
Wiley managed to rip the necklace off but
not before suffering second and third-degree
burns to his neck and hands.
He said:
‘What I felt through that…I just
thought that’s how you die.’ Doctors
say he is expected to recover but that
could have died. Dr Benjamin Fail
said that 100 volts can kill a person
and Day was hit with 110.
‘He is lucky to be alive,’ Dr. Fail said.
‘Electrocution kills.’ After the brush
with death, Day says he’s going to
stop sleeping in bed with his phone.
He said: ‘Charge your phone away
from you. Charge it the next day. It’s
not worth your life.’
