WARNING: The video on the right contains footage of someone dying and as such may be disturbing to viewers.
Recently, an 8 year old girl visiting the factory where her grandmother worked died under mysterious circumstances that were captured by the factory's security camera, as seen here in this report by Zhejiang TV (浙江电视台). The CCTV footage shows the little girl Yang Yang hopping merrily into the factory in Hangzhou's Yuhang district (余杭), and then resting her body against the electric security gate — the type that you often see around in schools, factories and hospitals around here. The girl then appeared to suddenly be sucked into the gate, and lost control of her body. Within a few seconds, her body grew limp, her head fell backwards and she fell onto the ground, lifeless. After viewing the footage, Yang Yang's mother is convinced that she accidentally kicked her shoes off while playing and was electrocuted. Tests concluded that there was a 12V leakage from the gate — still below the 36V level which is safe for the human body, says the factory representative. A reporter also found out that an autopsy commissioned by the factory had been mysteriously cancelled. When questioned, the factory representative said he cancelled the autopsy report when he found out that results would not be out before a month. He had earlier thought that this would take only a weekend. Now that the girl had already died, he argued, there was nothing else that would bring her back to life, and so there was no great need to find out the cause of her death. He wanted to bring an end to this episode as soon as possible, both for himself and the parents. The reporter then asks the father of the girl if he didn't wish to find out why her daughter died. He responded, "I agree with everything he [the factory owner] has said." It is understood the parents have received compensation of RMB305,000 from the factory, and agreed not to press further charges.



congratulations. you have reached a new low.
This is one of the sadest things I have ever seen, and I am disgusted at just what lengths you guys will go to drive traffic.
You have all sold the soul of this site for massage ads
It's not THAT bad... geez. And I think it does say something very interesting about society in China today.
So how much is your daughter worth...?
So no lessons are learned to prevent future victims.
Wonder if anyone has a conscious - or was this girl just deemed to insignificant??????????????/
Not enough interesting things to write about in a city of 18.5 million? Or is it a slow season in the expat neighborhood?
Actually these are important incidents because in the West this is how companies ended up being forced to post warnings about electrocution, dogs, etc by their insurance companies, the government, major investors, etc.
But I would not be surprised if no such signs were posted on the fences around this factory.
EUR 30,000, that is the value of a little girl's life in China?
How come, that parents can let a little child play in a factory and get away with it unpunished?
Factories need not be childproof, but they should not be a hazard to the general public either.
