At around 9 o'clock yesterday morning, an old man wearing a gray cap anxiously entered the police cordon. After uncovering the sunshade covering the body, he burst into tears and was overwhelmed with sorrow. Subsequently, when the police wanted to transport the body to the funeral home, the old man sat on a stone bench under the banyan tree, looking worried, and called his relatives to come to the scene.
The incident occurred under a large banyan tree on the south side square of the Tianhe Sports Center. The old banyan tree where Luo chose to take his own life is only about 50 meters away from the entrance of a large underground mall. At around 8:50 in the morning, the reporter saw at the scene that the deceased had already been taken down by the police, covered with a sunshade, and placed under the banyan tree. The police and forensic doctors were investigating the scene and taking photos as evidence.
Security personnel discovered the body during shift change. According to eyewitnesses, at around 7 o'clock in the morning, the security guards at the south gate of the sports center were changing shifts. During routine patrol, the guard who started work at 7 noticed a person leaning against a banyan tree in a small grove on the south side of the square. Upon closer inspection, he found a young man hanging from the banyan tree, so he immediately reported it to the police. "One foot of that person was resting on the branch of the banyan tree, which made the security guard curious as to why someone would be climbing a tree so early?" Eyewitnesses said the deceased was about 30 years old, with his head tied by a red nylon rope, and both feet were about one meter off the ground. His face looked calm when he was taken down.
According to informed sources, the deceased, Mr. Luo, had suffered from mental illness for three years, with occasional relapses. After discovering this, his family accompanied him to see a psychiatrist at the hospital. On the night of the incident, Mr. Luo did not return home. His father said he had been depressed for the past two days and never expected that early yesterday morning, Mr. Luo would end his young life using a red nylon rope.
Mr. Luo, who lived near the Tianhe Sports Center, had been suffering from mental illness for three years. The recurring illness drained his energy. In the early hours of yesterday morning, unable to endure the torment brought on by his condition, he ended his young life with a red nylon rope on an old banyan tree on the south side of the Tianhe Sports Center Square. No one discovered the incident until a security guard at the south gate of the sports center found the body during the morning shift change.
