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

Which brand of water heater, cause this unfortunate fatal accident ?
-
Doubt it has anything to do with brand
-
this sounds really scary . how to even check
-
Not the first case. Few years ago, same accident in a HDB flat.
-
How did the accident occur ?
Just newly installed the water heater then fatal accident arise, or water heater been used for a long time, then suddenly one day accident just arise ? -

In both cases they mention exposed wire / not installed properly. I admit I never really think about all these... turning on water heater is like flushing toilet to me...How did the accident occur ?
