A Russian teenager has reportedly died after charging her cellphone in the bath and dropping the cable into the water.

It is the third such case reported in the last few months of a Russian teenager dying this way.

Yulia Vysotskaya, 14, was charging her mobile in the bath at her home in the central western city of Cheboksary, when it slipped out of her hands, reported the Daily Mail.

She is believed to have dropped the charging cable into the water,  lost consciousness from the electrical shock, and then died of drowning, reported local media MKRU Cheboksary, which said that local authorities had confirmed the death.
