The chief procurator in a county of central China's Hubei Province resigned yesterday following the death of a people's congress deputy, local authorities said.

Meanwhile, two procurators in the Badong County under Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture were arrested for alleged duty crime, the county government said in a statement.

Earlier on Tuesday, head of the Bureau of Corruption Prevention in Badong was suspended from his post and also investigated following Ran Jianxin's death.

Ran, 49, died Saturday while being interrogated at the Badong County People's Procuratorate.

Ran, a people's congress deputy in the city of Lichuan also in Enshi prefecture and a former Party chief and director of the Duting Street Office in Lichuan, was arrested on May 26 on charges of taking bribes from construction contractors.

Ran's cousin said he found signs of wounds and bruises on Ran's body at the hospital and believed that they were signs of an "unnatural death."
