The 32-year-old’s metal dog-tag necklace he was wearing caught on the exposed prongs of the charger head and electrocuted him.

Stunned Wiley, of Huntsville, Alabama, said he went numb and began to lose sight.

He told US site WAAY 31: ‘What I felt through that…I just thought that’s how you die,

And he believes he only survived because he ripped off the chain.

Wiley told the Washington Post: “It was the eeriest, darkest, most demonic thing you could ever experience.

“I don’t have enough adjectives to describe it.

“Your body is numb at that point. I guess people would think it would be burning, but in my case I felt a whole lot of pressure around my neck.

“When I came to and figured out what happened, I literally stood straight up, and I said, ‘Oh my God, I think I just got electrocuted.’

“Had I not pulled that necklace off when I did … I just believe that God spared my life, and that’s what happened.”

Dr Benjamin Fail said he is lucky to be alive because 100 volts can kill – and he was hit with about 110.

He said: “Electrocution kills.”

Last month a coroner issued a warning after a man was electrocuted in the bath while charging his iPhone.

Richard Bull, 32, is believed to have plugged the charger into an extension cord from the hallway and then rested it on his chest while using the phone.

He suffered severe burns on this chest, arm and hand when part of it touched the water.

Wife Tanya found him when she returned home and first thought he had been attacked because his injuries were so bad.

She called 999 but paramedics said he was already dead by the time they got there.
