The man, thought to be a shop assistant in his twenties at a computer shop in Guangzhou, China, died after he put a new battery in his phone. It was believed that he may have just finished charging the battery and had put the phone in his breast pocket when it exploded.

This goes to show you to heed the replacement battery warnings on cell phones. There are knock off batteries out there that do this.

This will make some of us men think more carefully about placing the phone in our pants pocket.
