A woman in Lagangilang, Abra tragically lost her life after touching a lightbulb plugged into an extension cord.
Electrocution happens when someone gets hurt or killed by an electric shock. This can occur when a person touches something that is carrying electricity, like a live wire or an electrical appliance.
The electric current flows through the body, which can interfere with important body functions like the heartbeat or breathing. Depending on how strong the current is and how long the person is in contact with it, the injury can be mild or very serious. In some cases, it can even be fatal.
Recently, a woman lost her life due to electrocution after touching a lightbulb plugged into an extension cord inside their home. The incident garnered various reactions from the online community.
The female victim dies after being electrocuted while handling a lightbulb. She reportedly hit her head after falling from the electric shock. According to her father, the woman was cleaning their backyard when the accident happened.
The victim may have unknowingly touched the exposed silver part of a lit lightbulb, which was connected to an extension cord. This caused her to receive an electric shock, leading her to fall. It is believed that during the fall, she hit her head on a rock, worsening her condition.
Family members quickly rushed her to the hospital, hoping to save her, but she didn’t survive.
The incident emphasizes the importance of electrical safety at home. Always be cautious when dealing with plugged-in appliances or exposed wiring to prevent similar accidents from happening.
It is especially important to make sure that wires and electrical components are well-insulated and safe to handle.
