This selfie-loving teen boy with model good looks has been electrocuted to death while charging his mobile phone in his bedroom after he asked to leave the dinner table for a moment.

The tragic incident took place in the city of Maipu in the western Argentine province of Mendoza at around 8pm on 26th February.

According to the news site TN, the victim, named as Angel Andrada, 18, asked his parents if he could leave the dinner table and went to his room to charge his phone, which was low on battery power.

However, it was the last time his parents saw their teen son alive. Moments later, they heard a loud noise coming from the bedroom and went to investigate.

Andrada’s father found the young man lying on the floor with visible burns on his body and immediately carried him to his car and drove him to the Diego Paroissien Regional Hospital.

According to TN, doctors pronounced the victim dead on arrival and said he suffered a fatal electric shock that caused “burns to his neck, both wrists and his right foot”.

Investigators took statements from the teen’s parents and examined the phone charger and electrical connections in the house.

The police probe is ongoing.

A relative of the victim wrote on social media: “Fly high Angel Andrada, dear nephew, and give strength to your family to help relieve them of such great pain.

“My condolences to the family, I send you a hug with all my heart.”
