Mum, 20, killed by washing machine as she puts hand in to retrieve her clothes

 

A 20-year-old mum suffered a fatal electric shock when she put her hand in a washing machine thinking her load had finished. 

Investigators said Viviane Rodrigues from Juazeiro, Brazil, suffered a huge shock when she reached into the appliance to retrieve some clothes. 

Her husband rushed her to the local hospital emergency unit, but Mrs Rodrigues - mother to a nine-month-old son - was declared dead on arrival.

She was buried on Thursday in Gameleira do Di a rural community in the Campo Formoso area where her family lives.
