I would think that a new GFCI was installed right after the incident, and before a news crew was allowed into the room. Otherwise, some moron would shove something into the outlet to demonstrate his or hr stupidity.
Maybe that is the answer. The other possibility that I've considered is that the entire Inside Edition report was a 'mock-up' as far as the bathroom part was concerned. Besides having props for the phone and the charger and the extension cord, they had props for EVERYTHING in the bathroom -- that it wasn't the Coe bathroom at all. Not the Coe bathtub, lavatory, or GFCI outlet. Vid took place somewhere else.
They wanted to show all kinds of 'simulations'; the phone falling into the bathtub water, a model standing in the bathtub in a bathrobe, etc.
I asked Inside Edition by email to address the veracity of the bathroom situation, no answer.
Logan Coe is a fireman. The business about the frayed extension cord and the improper bathroom plug is not good home safety.
