The story of a man who was killed by his exploding cellphone has just been rewritten. A coworker of the deceased has confessed to killing the man in a work-related (stone-quarry) accident. Fearful of the consequences, the coworker used the victim's still-burning cellphone to spin a tale that made headlines around the world and had anyone who talked on a cellphone second-guess their safety. Either that or the cellphone industry is covering their tracks. The truth is out there.
