his charging phone. He fell asleep in the process and was found the next

saw him still unconscious and cold on the floor. She tried to wake him
up but unable to do so, she called medics who declared him dead.It was
then confirmed that the boy, from Malaysia, did not have any other
injuries or bruises on his body other than bleeding and burns on his
left ear, and the autopsy later showed that the cause of death was
electrocution.

victim’s brother also said that he felt a small electric shock when he
touched the headphone cable.Photos of the boy have spread online as a
