A man
was electrocuted as he charged his mobile phone while in the bath, an inquest
has heard. Richard Bull, 32, died when his iPhone charger made contact with the
water at his home in Ealing, west London. A coroner ruled his death was accidental
and plans to send a report to Apple about taking action to prevent future
deaths. Safety campaigners have warned about the dangers of charging mobiles
near water following the inquest. Mr Bull is believed to have plugged his
charger into an extension cord from the hallway and rested it on his chest
while using the phone, the Sun reports. He suffered severe burns on his chest,
arm and hand when the charger touched the water and died on 11 December, the
newspaper said. Assistant
coroner Dr Sean Cummings, who conducted the inquest at West London Coroner's
Court on Wednesday (Mar.15), is to write a prevention of future death report to
send to Apple. March 17 http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-39307418
The coroners report was released on March 15, just three
days after a Mercury-Saturn completed an exact square on Sunday, March 12. A
chart for the mundane event drawn for London is shown here. Notice that Mercury-Saturn
along with the near Full Moon aligns with the meridian.
Here Mercury is the ruler of the 3rd house which
among other things rules telephones [1]. Opposite Mercury and close to the IC
are the asteroids Lacrimosa and Requiem both of which rule death. Shifting our
attention to the Uranus-Pluto-Zeus-Jupiter T-square that straddles the horizon
we can home in to the cause of the death. Ebertin includes “accidents” as one
of the keywords under Uranus-Pluto. But we also know that Uranus rules
electricity and the TNP Zeus is linked to fires so that the cause of the death
was an electrical fire. However, the picture is not complete without including
the asteroid Atlantis that is conjunct the Ascendant. For Atlantis, Martha
Wescott has “water related disasters”[2].
