Exploding mobile phone kills Chinese man
Found on The Register on Monday, 02 February 2009
A Chinese man was reportedly killed at a computer shop last Friday after the cell phone in his chest pocket exploded, severing a major artery in his neck and leading to massive blood loss.
Police have not released the make or model of the phone. Some reports indicate the fatal explosion occurred at a Lenovo store in Guangzhou, China — although it's not clear if the shop was an official outlet or if it just advertised Lenovo products.
Perhaps that's a neat new addon to the great firewall of China: executing dissidents via SMS bombs.
