Sometimes it's worth spending a bit extra…
And is there any credible reporting of evidence that the charger was the cause of the death, and that it was a non-Apple charger?

Here's a helpful tip:

Don't touch any device plugged into an electrical socket when you're dripping wet.

Really!

The fact that it was a phone charger that was plugged in, Apple or otherwise, is incidental.

Apparently under "Do Not Eat" on the Apple website, they need to add "Do not use while you're in the bathtub and the phone is plugged into the wall charger.
