2016 is not a good year and I doubt 2017 will be better.

Water heaters are conmon if not essential in homes, childcare centres, hotels and hospitals. How can we prevent this from happening again?

[Nebbermind]

Have not installed any heater by myself but I think the water pipes are electrically earthed so any leakage should have tripped the supply

[phtthp]

Which brand of water heater, cause this unfortunate fatal accident ?
