What would you expect Apple to say?

What would you expect Apple to say?

very sad I know but what comment would you expect Apple to make?
Man dies charging iPhone in bath

And what on earth will the prevention of future death report say?

These are both rhetorical questions of course. An event like this can never be prevented.

The Darwin awards are now defunct, despite overwhelming numbers of people prepared to do the silliest of things.

I hope that if I have occasion to go to a coroner's court that it's not run by this numpty of a coroner...Dr Sean Cummings.

"I'm going to write to Apple"...to say what exactly, you idiot ?

Amazing, isn't it, the stupidity of some people.

I'm sure Apple will take loads of notice of the coroners report :lol:

Something makes me think that in Australia they actually have proper sockets in the bathroom, but accept that it might kill you - a kind of common sense rule.

As a teenager the first thing I did when I bought a portable stereo was make up a lead so I could plug it into the shaver socket.

Protecting people from their own stupidity is counter productive - it stops evolution from working properly. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

When you make something idiot proof, there is always a better idiot.

On todays standards he will use the below

...and what about the water company ? Surely they should be penalised for supplying conductive water ?

I saw this article some days ago and agree completely, Sean Cummings is only an "assistant coroner" and clearly not really up to the job. Let's hope he gets further training before he makes any more stupid statements. :eusa-doh:
