A British-educated tech boss died after his mobile phone exploded as he slept next to it, it’s reported.
Nazrin Hassan was charging two smartphones in his bedroom when one of them is believed to have burst into flames, setting fire to his mattress.
The dad-of-three, who studied at the University of Buckingham and Kings College London, was chief of Malasia-based Cradle Fund.
A company spokesman confirmed that a post mortem showed the businessman was killed due to “blast injuries” caused by a mobile phone charging next to him.
Chief Operations Officer of Cradle, Razif Aziz said the firm had lost a “creative genius”.
He said in a statement: “Cradle has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.
Nazrin received a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B hons) from the University of Buckingham in 1994.
He also completed his Master of Laws in 1997 at King’s College London.
He was also a committee member of the United Kingdom Executive Council for Malaysian Students (UKEC).
“Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Nazrin have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor.”
According to The Malaysian Insight, Hassan’s brother-in-law said Nazrin had two phones – a Blackberry and a Huawei.
He reportedlty posted on social media: “We don’t know which one exploded.
“Who would have thought such an innocuous routine procedure is the reason three young kids will grow up without their father by their side.”

Chairman, Ovation Media Group and a former chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dele Momodu, has resigned his membership of the party.
Momodu announced his membership via a letter dated July 17, 2025, and addressed to the Chairman, PDP Ward 4, Ihievbe, Owen East Local Government Area, Edo State.
The veteran journalist said he was resigning because the party has been ‘unarguably hijacked by antidemocratic forces from within and outside in broad daylight’.
He insisted that “it is therefore, honorable to abandon the carcass to them while the majority of us earnestly sign up with the new coalition party known as African Democratic Congress (ADC).”
He thanked the PDP for the opportunity and support he received ‘at all times’.
Momodu’s resignation from the PDP came barely 24hours after former Vice President Atiku Abubakar dumped the party.
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has formally resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), ending a decades-long relationship with the opposition party he co-founded.
The resignation was confirmed in a letter dated Monday, July 14, and addressed to the chairman of the PDP in Jada 1 Ward, Jada Local Government Area of Adamawa State. A copy of the letter was shared publicly on Wednesday by Atiku’s media aide.
Atiku, who was the PDP’s presidential candidate in the 2023 general election, stated that his decision to leave the party came after reflection on the current direction of the PDP, which he said no longer aligns with its founding values.
The letter read, “I am writing to formally resign my membership from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) with immediate effect.
“I would like to take this opportunity to express my profound gratitude for the opportunities I have been given by the party.
“Serving two full terms as Vice President of Nigeria and being a presidential candidate twice has been one of the most significant chapters of my life.
“As a founding father of this esteemed party, it is indeed heartbreaking for me to make this decision.
“However, I find it necessary to part ways due to the current trajectory the party has taken, which I believe diverges from the foundational principles we stood for. It is with a heavy heart that I resign, recognising the irreconcilable differences that have emerged.
“I wish the party and its leadership all the best in the future. Thank you once again for the opportunities and support.”
