A 14-year-old girl was electrocuted to death on Sunday because she was using her cellphone—and charging it—while taking a bath. 

The fatal shock came while she was at her father’s home in Lovington, New Mexico, reported KCBD, an NBC affiliate in Texas. The teen was identified as Madison Coe from Lubbock, Texas.

Coe’s mother and grandmother said that she must have either plugged in her phone while in the bath or grabbed the already charging phone.

“There was a burn mark on her hand, the hand that would have grabbed the phone. And that was just very obvious that that’s what had happened,” said her grandmother, Donna O'Guinn, according to the station.
