The tot's passing is the latest in a series of similar lethal electric shocks.
Sara's horrific death comes as Brazil registered 355 deaths from electric shocks last year alone.
It comes after Kittisak Moonkitti, 28, was found dead in his bedroom with burn marks on his hand and forearm while still holding his handset.
His mum Rinnaporn, from Chonburi, western Thailand, made the horrifying discovery when she was leaving for work in2019.
She found Kittisak dead, but holding his black Android smartphone, which was plugged into the mains while he was playing games.
His hands and arms bore scorch marks and when she poked him with a stick he was unresponsive.
