A man in Pengshan county, Sichuan province, was seriously injured when a faulty heater blew him out of his bath last Thursday.

Zeng Changjun, 40, a resident in the county, was bathing around 7 am when an electronic heater suddenly exploded.

He was seriously injured by the electric shock and subsequent explosion.

"He was blown through the ceiling by the explosion," one of Zeng's friends said.

Doctors who treated Zeng at a local hospital in Chengdu, capital of the province, said 98 percent of his body had been burned.
