Sun Danyong, 25 years old, from Qujing,Yunnan, graduated from Harbin Institute of Technology with a bachelor degree in Business Administration class of 2008, worked at Foxconn. At around 3:33 AM on July 16th, he committed suicide by jumping off the 12th floor.
The incident was caused by a lost iPhone. Out of 16 iPhone prototypes that he was supposed to mail to Apple, one was missing and during the company investigation, he jumped off a building and died.
The other day, some university classmates released chat records from a few hours before the incident. They claimed that Sun Danyong was subjected to illegal searches, confinement, and beatings during the investigation, which sparked heated online discussions. Yesterday, our reporter went deep inside Foxconn to investigate the truth behind the matter.
