Compaq but every one is suspecting that was not the cause of the death as laptop was 3-4 ft away and the chair where the laptop was kept did not burn. By the way he is nephew of Minister Kamrul Islam.

Well, a friend told me that not too rarely coffee makers cause fires and burn down houses. Anything with electricity flowing through it can malfunction.
But how sad to read about this guy's death...

just curious , can it be a well pland murder?

 

[Splurgenxs]

Flames? lol highly dubious..

a Li-ion tht has contaminated electrolytic shell can react to heat up red hot...but the fuses and plastic body that is fire retardant give a less than 1% chance of them catching fire and tht to is just a probability...ppl dying? not possible.

what was he sleeping on lighter fuel? highly dubious. even if cotton catches fire it doesn't remain lit for long and chars instantly.

Compaq always made bad laptops.

 

[CaPtAiN_pLaNeT]

This is what has been said by the fire man and police regarding the incident...

Senior fire service official Anwarul Hoque and Mirpur's Deputy Commissioner of Police Imtiaz Ahmad visited the scene in the afternoon.

They confirmed they did not find any sign of the fire originating from any electric problems or from the laptop.

They could not confirm immediately how the fire started and said they will wait for reports.

Compaq always made bad laptops.

My friends bought Compaq before HP takeover of compaq, most of them have to visit service center once in a 6 months. The quality improved a lot after HP bought it.
