The Russian woman was charging her phone when she was electrocuted at her home in Novosibirsk, say reports.
She had previously worked as an aide to a local MP.
The tragedy follows warnings from the Russian authorities and police following a succession of deaths from electric shock by young people using phones in baths.
“She took a bath before going to sleep, and had her smartphone with her,” said a report citing law enforcement.
“It was almost out of charge, so she used a power cable, so as not to be apart with the smartphone even when taking a bath.
“She dropped the phone and was electrocuted.
"She died instantly.”
Police are understood to be investigating the circumstances of her death.
