She was killed while plugging in the AC socket to charge her laptop. This is what got her.

I am to in a way. She must have gotten the AC portion of the charging circuit in the tub. That, and she had to be grounded in some way for this to complete the circuit.

Well, hair dryers have warning tags on them, so you know they're dangerous around water, but laptops don't! SUE!

Most new hair dryers also have built in GFCI protectors installed at the end of the plug. Not pefect, but better than nothing. Time to add GFCI to the plugs of laptops, lol!
