Apple to investigate reported iPhone 5 shock death

Apple Inc. (AAPL) said it will “fully investigate and cooperate with authorities” after media reports that a woman in China died after using an iPhone that was being recharged.
A 23-year-old flight attendant died on July 12 after picking up her iPhone 5 to answer a call, China’s Xinhua News Agency reported, citing Internet reports. Xinhua cited a post by a user of Weibo microblogging service saying that the family “didn’t ask for compensation from Apple, and that it only hopes people will pay attention, nothing more.”

The phone was bought in December with items already handed over to police, Xinhua reported.
The company didn’t comment on the details of the media report.
