Person’s Death Because Of Laptop Use On The Bed!

It’s true; a couple lost their 25 year old son, Arun Gopal Ratnam in a fire at home. The person is graduated with MBA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Two weeks earlier, he had come home for a while, had lunch with his dad and decided to go back to clean up his hostel room.

His father told him to wait, to meet his mother. Arun decided to wait and took a nap while waiting for his mother. After some time, Arun’s neighbours saw a black smoke coming from the house and called 911. But unfortunately Arun has died and the case has taken several days of investigation to find out the cause of death.

After several days, it was determined that the fire was caused by the laptop resting on the bed. When you use laptop on the bed, cooling fan doesn’t receive the air to cool the system and that is reason for fire production. Arun didn’t even get out of the bed, because he died of breathing carbon monoxide.

Most of us have a habit of using the laptop while in bed. Even after reading the post, i think you people don’t use your laptops while in bed.

The risk is real, so make follow it as a rule and don’t use the laptop on bed or keep laptop on bed with pillows and blankets around.
