'I screamed, shook her, but she was pale, did not breathe and showed no signs of life,' distraught friend named Daria, an estate agent, told the emergency operator.
'I was really scared. When I touched her, I got an electric shock.
'There was a smartphone in the water, it was charging.'
Paramedics confirmed that Ms Semenova - who worked in a clothes shop - had died in the bath and that her iPhone 8 had fallen into the water when plugged into the mains.
A selfie video from a year ago shows her in her bath.
The Russian emergencies ministry issued a warning after the tragedy, the latest of a number of such fatalities in the country.
'The tragedy once again reminds us that water and an electrical appliance connected to the mains are incompatible.
'The same applies to any mobile device.
'If you drown a smartphone, the worst thing is its failure.
'But when it is connected to the network, we see what the consequences are.'
