A seven-year-old schoolgirl dropped dead after being electrocuted by a public water fountain.
Tragic Ritage Ahmed El-Sayed had woken up early for the Eid holiday at her home in Faiyum, Egypt, on 21st April.
After being given her present by her parents, she had left home with her dad to go to the Al-Fath Mosque ahead of the Eid al-Fitr prayer.
But tragedy struck when she decided to quench her thirst by drinking from the public water cooler outside the mosque.
On touching the device, she received a massive electric shock from an exposed wire and collapsed instantly, local media reported.
She was rushed to a hospital in the Bagoush area but passed away in the reception.
Her body was taken to the morgue for a post-mortem examination before being handed over to her devastated parents for burial in the family cemetery.
Middle East School, where Rita was a pupil, announced a three-day mourning period to mark her untimely passing.
The case is under investigation by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Beni Suef.
In January, investigators in Thailand said they believed a shop worker died from an electric shock after his arm touched his mobile phone that was charging while he slept.
Puttawat Kamwan, 34, did not turn up to his shift for three days so worried colleagues visited his apartment in Samut Prakan province, Thailand, on January 26 evening.
And they found their friend collapsed and decomposing on the bed with his arm resting on the mobile phone.
Footage shows the worker's bedroom with the charger and power cord lying next to his bed.
Emergency services were called and an investigation has been opened by the police.
Colleague Pantatip Kanthong, 22, said: "We work at a jewellery shop. He was absent for three days and did not answer his phone. After work, we went to his room but we found his door was open. We went inside with the landlady and found him."
Building owner Nattanit Hawharn, 31, said Puttawat stayed home alone and was usually silent in his room so she didn't think anything was wrong.
"He was usually quiet and rested in his room or drank cans of beer after work. We saw his door was opened. We thought he was only sick," she said.
In October, a 13-year-old girl also died after touching a faulty television set.
The schoolgirl had just gotten out of the shower when she received a massive electric shock after trying to adjust the set, which was live due to a problem with its wiring.
The teen, named as Iorranny Ravick Soares Rodrigu, died in in Timon, a Brazilian municipality in the north-eastern state of Maranhao.
