A teenage girl electrocuted herself after trying to charge her phone while taking a bath.
She was killed when the charger, plugged into an extension cord, fell into the water.
Her mother found the 14-year-old and said she was so badly electrocuted that her body had started to burn.
The tragic incident happened in Moscow where the girl lived with her mother, 40, and her older brother.
She had locked the bathroom door and used an extension lead to plug in her phone.
The family had only recently moved to Russia from Moldova and when the mother realised that her daughter, who hasn't been named, had been in the bathroom for a long time, she started to call for her to come out.
After she heard no response, she forced her way inside and found her daughter’s lifeless body.
The mum said how the teenager had the charger in her hands and the mobile phone was on the floor, and she had used an extension lead because there were no plugs in the bathroom.
Prosecutor Yulia Ivanova told the local media: "Currently we are still investigating and will make a decision on what action to take, if any, once the investigation is completed."
