There is what, a billion cell phones out there? If this was a real problem, it would happen more often. But statisically, things will happen to make it look like the phone killed someone. My guess is that cell phone "exploded" scared the guy and gave him a heart attack.
so we also learn that the man had apparently fatal damage to his internal organs. if not from the phone that did in fact explode in his shirt pocket, how is this supposed to have happened? let's not forget how important the manufacture of cellphones is to the korean economy, and how much political influence powerful corporations like samsung and lg have always had in that country (and their history of corruption!). we should be more skeptical here.
"if not from the phone that did in fact explode in his shirt pocket, how is this supposed to have happened?"
exactly, a simultaneous small weapons explosion occurred directly next to him at the same exact time as the cell phone explosion, with all the evidence of this event evaporating... it was the most perfect coincidence EVER!!!
"let's not forget how important the manufacture of cellphones is to the korean economy, and how much political influence powerful corporations like samsung and lg have always had in that country (and their history of corruption!)"
largest companies in a country when the majority of the government is corrupt, they NEVER have any political influence!
In all seriousness m, i completely agree with you. Why anyone would trust a story like this coming out of Korea really makes me wonder what the gullibility factor around here is.
Maybe whatever killed him (a large jolt of electricity, for example) could have also caused his cellphone to melt. Correlation is not causation, didn't you learn that in like...middle school?

The battery didn't kill him...
IT WAS THE "UNASSISTED FALL"
