Ann-Marie O’Gorman died tragically in October 2024 from electrocution caused by holding a charging phone in her bath. The 46-year-old’s husband described finding her unresponsive and the phone submerged, causing the fatal shock.
Despite being diagnosed with Von Willebrand and Graves’ diseases, Ann-Marie was fit and regularly exercised. The electric current disrupted her heart rhythm, causing her death, confirmed by a state pathologist.
