Techie dies in office toilet after clocking in, authorities reject work-related claim

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.

He was later found collapsed inside and died after resuscitation efforts failed. The cause of death has not been disclosed.
