Are mobile phone becoming more and more dangerous, or is mankind going mentally broke?

The original report was so graphically tremendous, that I had to pass it on they way it was originally showcasedon Telecoms Korea News Service:

In the first such case in Korea, a 33-year-old man was found dead on Wednesday, presumably killed by a cell phone battery explosion, police said. The cell phone was the product of a LG Electronics...

"When I was going up the stony hill to set dynamite, I found a man lying down beside an electronic shovel," said a coworker identified as Kwon. "He was already bleeding from the nose. He had a mobile phone with a melted battery in his left shirt pocket. His shirt had soot on it in the shape of the phone." Prof. Kim Hoon at Chungbuk National University, who examined the body, presumed the death was caused by a phone battery explosion.

"He was injured in the left side of his chest. His ribs and spine were broken. The explosion punctured his heart and lungs, leading to his death".

Ribs, spine, explosions in the sky... feels like a rotten.com conspiracy to me.
