A laptop computer that burst into flames after being left on a couch is to blame for a Vancouver man’s death, prompting a public warning from the British Columbia Coroners Service not to leave the devices on soft furniture.

The 56-year-old man became the first British Columbian to die from a laptop fire earlier this year, when he plugged the device in and left it running on his sofa. The laptop caught fire 50 minutes later and his residence was soon engulfed.

Okay let me see if I have this right plug in laptop walk off and burn to death!
To tell the truth there is only one person I know that lets a laptop sit on furniture for a while and that one has never burst into flame. Baldy
