Humm.  I would have thought that would also have made slashdot, or maybe I saw 
the story but not the update marker.  It didn't quite ring true that the 
cellphone was burned badly, as was the skin under it.  Any autospy worker 
could tell if the burns were pre or post demise I expect.  Thanks for the 
update.

I've got one of those, but it doesn't have a cord, just a boss with a hole in 
the end cap.  I keep it in the pickup.  About a year old, maybe I should 
check the batteries?  A good tip, thanks.
