Darwin awards, here own fault etc, come on, this is a 14 year old, she does not deserve dead penalty for being not educated about the risks and GFCI etc.
Instead we now try to make it impossible to do stupid things instead of teaching our kids to think about dangers.
You just answered your own concern. It's her or her family's fault for sure -- lack of education and awareness of safety.
She doesn't have to know what the f is GFCI. Common sense should have told her not to grab a wall plug with wet finger.
The recessed EU plug or sleeved UK plug may kinda prevent this, but human stupidity always wins over safety precautions.
She didn't grab a wall plug.
She grabbed an extension cord that was already plugged in. When I say extension cord, I mean one of those cheap brown, two prong cords designed for lamps, fans and other low current appliances. There's virtually no insulation to speak of (about as much as a standard US lamp cord) so it's not hard to knick or fray, exposing the copper. (Plus, it's hard to spot bare patches of copper on a brown colored cord, since they blend together so well).
That is unfortunately what happened here! The cord was frayed and she touched the exposed copper wire. She obviously was aware of the dangers of water and electricity, because she wrapped the head of the cord and charger in a towel, to keep it off the floor and dry. (There's even a picture of this that she tweeted minutes before she died.)

Anyway, teenagers are impulsive. They will always be impulsive. This will never change. I think quite a few of us did stupid stuff as teens and by all rights shouldn't be here today.
