Malaysian CEO dies after smartphone explodes while charging
Malaysian CEO dies after smartphone explodes while charging Cradle Fund CEO Nazrin Hassan died after one of his phones exploded while charging. Cradle Fund is owned by the Malaysian Ministry of Finance. Both his smartphones were kept on charging in Hassan’s bedroom. The explosion led to a fire on the mattress in the room and the impact was so devastating that it was difficult to identify as to which of the two smartphones actually exploded due to overheating. While the relative said on social media that when one of the smartphones exploded, the broken parts of it hit Hassan on the back of the head which likely caused “blunt trauma”. After this, the explosion led to a fire in the bedroom, but by then Hassan is said to have been already dead. “He had two phones, one Blackberry and a Huawei. We don't know which one exploded. Who would have thought such an innocuous routine procedure is the reason three young kids will grow up without their father by their side,” Hsssan's brother-in-law told The Malaysian Insight. Meanwhile the police is claiming that the death was caused due to the smoke inhalation from the explosion and not the shrapnels from the smartphone. -PTC News
