    rip... very tragic.... "old refrigerator"... old refigerator is a lurking danger in houses... because of ice formation , presence of water on the surface, it becomes conductive to electricity... better to replace refrigerators before the appliance becomes old...

    Indeed sad news .. Earthing connection to all home appliance are very important to reduce electric risk .. otherwise device with metal body are very dangerous n fatal .. Who is the reason for this cause ? - is the untrained electrician who repaired or installed this fridge ? - is he refrigerator company who make fault wiring ? - is the carelessness of house members ?
