death by drinking boiled water<\/h3>\n

Absurd excuse for death in policy custody.<\/p>\n

Wang Yahui of Lushan County, Henan Province was detained by police for suspected theft on February 18, 2010. Three days later, he was dead. Prison officials claimed that Wang had “reacted badly” to a combination of hot water and diluted cold medicine offered to him by police officers during his interrogation.<\/a> His family refused this explanation after seeing Wang’s mutilated body<\/a>, demanding an autopsy. Two of the officers involved resigned<\/a> on March 1. The Henan public security department eventually admitted that Wang had died from police torture.<\/p>\n

This incident follows a pattern of suspicious deaths in police custody<\/a> from 2009 to 2010. This terrible spate was recalled when Beijing man Lei Yang died on May 7, 2016, soon after being picked up by police<\/a> for allegedly soliciting a prostitute.<\/p>\n
