I think the Apple investigation will find something unfortunate about Miss Ma's death of that nature.

I also thought about possible wetness.........or a power surge.
Below, list of voltages in various countries.....

Electricity Voltage
The following information refers to the electricity voltage of some countries:
Argentina 220V/50HZ
Barbados 115V/50HZ
Belgium 220V/50HZ
Brazil 110-220V/60HZ
Britain 240V/50HZ
Burma 230V/50HZ
Canada 120V/60HZ
Cuba 120V/60HZ
Denmark 220V/50HZ
Egypt 220V/50HZ
Finland 220V/50HZ
France 220V/50HZ
Germany 230V/50HZ
Hungary 220V/50HZ
Italy 220V/50HZ
Malaysia 240V/50HZ
Mexico 120V/60HZ
Netherlands 220V/50HZ
Portugal 220V/50HZ
South Africa 220V/50HZ
South Korea 220V/60HZ
Spain 127V, 220V/50HZ
Sri Lanka 230V/50HZ
Togo 220V/50HZ
Vietnam 120V, 50HZ
Uganda 240V/50HZ
U.S.A. 120V/60HZ
Domestic electricity supply voltage varies between countries. Over 30 countries (including those in North America) use a voltage of 110V~130V, while another 120 countries (including most of Europe), use a voltage of 220V~230V. The electricity in China is generally 220V, 50HZ, AC (Hong Kong is 220V; Taiwan is 110V), while the supply voltage of Japan is 100V, 50/60HZ.
If you visit China and wish to bring electric devices for use during your stay, a transformer, which can be bought in China for CNY100-200, is necessary. Most of the hotels in China have both 110V and 220V electrical outlets in the bathrooms, though in guest rooms usually only 220V sockets are available.
As the shape of a socket varies between countries, a portable plug adaptor may also be necessary. It can be purchased from stores (such as Franzus) or electronics stores (i.e. RadioShack, Best Buy) in your local countries.
Electricity in India
Electricity in India is 240 Volts, alternating at 50 cycles per second. You will require a voltage converter if you are carrying a device that does not accept 240 Volts at 50 Hertz. To adjust your device according to the power and voltage in India, the following three types of Voltage converters may be used:
