COSTELLO: We've all done it used our Smartphone while it's plugged in and charging. But a Chinese news agency says a woman has died doing just that. The agency reports the woman was electrocuted after she answered her iPhone 5 while it was plugged into the charger. Of course, we're asking this morning is that really possible? We hope not. Although we're sorry this woman died. CNN money technology correspondent Laurie Segall has been following the story. So Laurie what happened?</s>LAURIE SEGALL, CNN MONEY TECHNOLOGY CORRESPONDENT: Unbelievable to think that this kind of thing could happen. From just answering your phone, apparently she had an iPhone 5, she had an iPhone 5 charger. You know when and -- and she was electrocuted. This is an ongoing investigation. We actually reached out to Apple. They're taking this seriously. Let me read what you they said in a statement. They said "We're deeply saddened to learn of this tragic incident and offer our condolences to the Ma family." They also said they're going to fully investigate and cooperate with authorities in this matter. Obviously, Carol, not very comforting when you think of how many of us have iPhone 5s, how many of us talk on our phones when they're plugged in. Now that being said you know this isn't the first time we've heard of something like this happening. Batteries have exploded in the past. So you know Chuck Schumer recently said we need to actually look at cell phone safety because it's becoming a huge issue as these phones are getting a little smarter and have more processing power -- Carol.</s>COSTELLO: Wow. Laurie Segall, thanks so much.</s>SEGALL: Thanks Carol.</s>COSTELLO: NEWSROOM continues after a quick break.
