Exploding Laptop Kills an Indian Engineer!

exploding-laptop

Here’s a rather interesting story on how a laptop kills an Indian Engineer.  It’s hard to believe and I think the authorities need to do further research as it could have easily been a bomb that was placed on the laptop.  Perhaps it’s a new computer virus that makes people explode…

A young software engineer working with Tata Consultancy Services was killed in a suspected computer
blast at his home on Telugu Brahmin
Street in Velachery late on Friday. The incident took place when Vijayakumar (28), hailing from Madurai, was working on the computer.

Police said his charred body was found in a sitting posture. “We are yet to ascertain the cause of the blast. The computer was completely damaged and the deceased was charred,” a police officer told TOI. Vijayakumar was sharing the house with two other software engineers, Vignesh (26) and Ram Prasad (26). When the accident occurred Ram Prasad was in the room with Vijayakumar, police said.

    He was working on the computer—As in using it? It seems pretty obvious that this computer was closed at the time that its battery caught fire. Meanwhile, whilst lithium battery fires have cause serious injuries, afaik, none have been life-threatening. My guess is that the story is crap.
