Innocent!

Phone, in the pocket, in the quarry. Not, it's not Cluedo, but the initial belief about a Korean man who was found dead earlier this week. Probable cause? Injuries sustained when his cell phone exploded.
But it seems the more likely scenario is: co-worker, accidentally, in the quarry, with a drilling vehicle. The theory is that the co-worker then set the man's mobile phone on fire and moved the vehicle to cover his tracks. It's good news for the phone's manufacturer who had been adamant from the outset that their phone was not the "culprit".
"(We) rigorously tests all the products not only for functionality and design, but safety as well," the company said in a statement.
We can all rest a little easier - safe in the knowledge that our phones won't hurt us!
