Yes, there was another article yesterday regarding the same incident but that one had been updated and they already investigated the case and said that the heat didn't come from within the phone but rather from the outside. Someone trying to get there 15 minutes of fame or inadvertently caused the damage and figured they'd just blame it on the battery to get a new one. The media isn't bothering to get the facts right anymore, got to hurry up and publish that story. Yesterday morning I was watching the news and they mentioned the Note 7 recall and the 6 year old who got burned. Even though the story had been corrected last week that it was a Samsung Core not a Note 7, the story is still being referred to as another Note 7 battery causing a fire and burning a child's hands.I thought it was said it was due to "external heat", like being left in the sun too long or something.

It didn't explode. There are news stories calling it external heat that melted it, not the batteries. It is unclear if it was accidental or an attempt to get attention/money.
I guarantee you that someones note 7 will overheat. The replacements are not safe. They are just less dangerous. Until we switch battery tech I recommend that everyone keeps up the safe practices when charging anything with a lithium battery.
