From the South China Morning Post, via Asia Media:
The Jilin deputy mayor due to be questioned by investigators probing the Songhua River spill told his wife the day before he hanged himself he feared he would be jailed, a pro-Beijing newspaper in Hong Kong reported yesterday.
Wang Wei, 43, was discovered dead by his wife on Tuesday after his colleagues told her he failed to show at a meeting that afternoon where he was to brief the government on the spill, the Ta Kung Pao said.
