SEOUL, South Korea (AP) -- An exploding mobile phone battery apparently
killed a South Korean man in the first such known case in this
gadget-obsessed country, police say.

The man, identified only by his family name Suh, was found dead at his
workplace in a quarry Wednesday morning and his mobile phone battery was
melted in his shirt pocket, a police official in Cheongwon, 135
kilometers (85 miles) south of Seoul, told The Associated Press.

"We presume that the cell phone battery exploded," the police official
said on condition of anonymity.

The official said the phone was made by South Korea's LG Electronics,
the world's fifth-biggest handset maker.

LG Electronics confirmed its product was involved in the accident but
said such a battery explosion and death was virtually impossible.

In other news....major Sellphone manufacturers have sued major
news media companies for damages to their business from a false
news story blaming a man's death on an exploding Sellphone
without properly checking the FACTS in the case.

Batteries of lawyers will buy waterfront property, luxury condos
on Park Ave, massive yachts and jet planes with the windfall
created by the inaccurate story.

Battery manufacturers are frantically calling their law firms to
make sure they get a piece of CNN's hide.
