In recent years, the incident of electric shock of the bathroom in Chengzhong Village has occurred in various places.

As a result, one person died, so the behavior of the defendant Wu Moumou constituted the crime of hazarding public safety by dangerous methods.

For those who fail to eliminate hidden dangers of electricity, power supply companies have the right to stop power supply; for rental houses with major fire protection and safety hazards, rental will be banned by the competent authority; for not fulfilling the obligation of electricity safety management and cause damage to others, they should be damaged. Compensation; if you know that there are hidden public safety hazards in houses, you will still be leased, causing serious injuries, death or suffering from major losses to public and private property, and will be held criminally responsible according to law.
