A college student was so worried about his expenses he refused to turn on his air conditioner, even when he noticed it was hot enough to over heat his computer.
20 year old Wu, a student from Shanghai, decided instead to take off the computer case around his CPU to help cool it off.
His sweaty legs came into contact with the computer’s wiring and electrocuted him. Medical examiners found bruises on his legs and blood in his nostrils confirming death by electrocution
