outh Denpasar Police said the cause of death of a beauty blogger, Rini Cesillia, 26, was electrocution from a broken water heater.

The hose channeled water and electricity, which killed Rini.

South Denpasar Police chief Adj. Comr. Aris Purwanto said his team, assisted by officers from state utility company PLN, was investigating the problem with the water heater.

“The victim died from a broken water heater,” Aris said as quoted by kompas.com. on Wednesday.

PLN found problems in the wiring that supplied electricity to the water heater: the electricity current flowed with the water, which is extremely dangerous.

Rini, originally from West Jakarta and known through her blog www.rinicesillia.com, was found dead holding the shower handle in her bathroom on Tuesday at 1 p.m. local time. She suffered from burns on her chest. (evi)
