They probably wouldn't have apologized to the woman if she was dead. To her family maybe.

IMO Anything plugged into 220V can kill you if you become the direct short! But the wiring on digital devices is probably too small and will burn up quickly it too many amps and sent down the line which will cause fire due to the plastic insulation melting off the wiring IMO.

Just read that Apple is apologizing to a Chinese woman who , unfortunately, was electrocuted** while somehow touching or talking on her I-phone 5 while it was charging............?????? I read further that there were other issues back in 2008. We have an I-phone 4.

Thanks in advance to any techies out there who would like to wager a guess.
I just read about it in the Chicago Tribune.....Monday's issue.

** She died.
Not terribly reassuring that Apple is apologizing to this dead woman....

It's just not possible to get electrocuted by that little bit of current.

From Webster's dictionary;

Definition of ELECTROCUTE
1: to execute (a criminal) by electricity
2: to kill by electric shock
