Rescue workers rushed to the scene of the accident in the city of Campina Grande after the victim’s husband sounded the alarm.

But when paramedics arrived at her home in the early hours of August 17, Jennifer was already dead.

Her husband, who is not named, said his wife was electrocuted after she got out of the bath and tried to charge her phone with an extension cord.

He said he heard an “unusually loud noise” and a scream before seeing her lying unconscious on the ground.

Jennifer’s husband told rescuers that he tried to help her but was also electrocuted.

Campina Grande Homicide Chief Ramirison Pedro said the case was being treated as an accident.

However, he added that the case is still under investigation.

According to her mother-in-law, Jennifer was nine months pregnant.

It came after a 14-year-old soccer player was electrocuted after jumping into a pool to get his phone back.

Emiliano Sanchez Tavitas was electrocuted when underwater lights went on in a luxury resort pool during his swim earlier this month.

Paramedics struggled to save the boy for 50 minutes before pronouncing him dead of cardiac arrest.

At least five other swimmers also suffered shocks at the Crystal Lagoon pool at the Dream Lagoon complex in Apodaca, on the outskirts of Monterrey, Mexico.

Meanwhile, four people were electrocuted at a procession last month after their religious float struck overhead wires.

Another ten people were injured during the Muharram procession in India’s Bokaro district of Jharkhand.

The group’s iron religious chariot struck an 11,000-volt live wire, killing four.

Footage showed members of the procession coming down the street when a sound of electric shocks was heard and some men fell to the ground.
