Rejection of a claim that a techie’s death in an office toilet was work-related has triggered widespread anger in China, the SCMP reported.
According to SCMP, 39-year-old Shenzhen programmer Xing Zhi, a father of two, died in his company’s toilet in April. Xing had reported for work that morning and went directly to a second-floor toilet instead of his desk on the 11th floor. He was later found collapsed inside and died after resuscitation efforts failed. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
