Firm partly at fault for fatal cave trip
Print Edition
A company that organized a cave exploration trip that resulted in the death of one of the participants has been ordered to compensate his family 216,000 yuan (US$32,398), according to the Minhang People’s Court.
Attempts to rescue the tourist were hampered by the lack of a mobile phone signal. The company, APS, did not prepare an emergency plan or have effective tools for communication to ensure timely rescue in case of emergency, the court said. APS therefore should take part responsibility for his death.
The tourist, surnamed Li, was around 30 years old. He and his colleagues from China Mobile Group Terminal Co went on a trip to a remote cave in Tonglu County of neighboring Zhejiang Province on May 29, 2015, the court said.
Li had told a fellow APS worker he might need to rest on occasion as he had a low blood sugar count. He later collapsed but it took several hours for rescuers to arrive.
Li died in hospital on June 1. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, according to the hospital.
