Rather, the mysteries of an unlocked input device. Similar events happened with keyboards and mouses too. Falling asleep with head on a keyboard, for example. If you don't lock your input devices and someone devices to clean your input devices then Bad Things (tm) may happen. Heck, fires have happened with TVs on stand-by.

There was even an unfortunate story where a kid who was gaming to late fell asleep and ended up getting hanged by his mouse cord. Yikes.

Someone opened the door of their 32x CD drive while it was still running, the safety features failed, the disc flew out and sliced the user's head clean off.

True story.
