After further reading, I stand corrected. 100 ma is enough to cause death. It takes voltage to create that current though. 5 vdc is not enough to overcome the resistance of a body, even a wet one.

 

I am admittedly ignorant to the physiology here. This story just doesn't pass my sniff test.

 

A wet body = approx 1000 ohms resistance.

5vdc/1000ohms=.005amps

Not lethal.

 

Unless, the phone charger was plugged into an extension cord, and the cord actually entered the water.

 

 

Again, standard wall voltage is 220v in Moscow. Also, who knows what the ground (earth) situation is there? Also, all the current has to do is go across the heart.
